A kid near me had one of those. Don't remember what it was but I saw it in person and could have had it cheap enough. If it wasn't so rough and a little more like the one in your picture maybe. There's just something neat about little mowers like that... kinda like the cadet 60, not practical but fun to mess with.

Its on cl philly. Said that it is a 1959 craftsman. My grandpop had something like this i think Montgomery ward ?

Montgomery ward was the first thing that came to my mind as I typed the first post. I never remember seeing any ID on the one I looked at though.

Wow thats crazy ! Here the whole time im thinking this one for sale stole the colors from IH, maybe the other way around. 1959 ? Cubs were still a twinkle in IH's eye at that point right ?

This one on CL is only $250 . Look how great someone kept or fix this one up. It almost looks right out of the pic from 1959. Dave

Dave - Your just exposing the sickness we both have. We are both out of room, but still cruising CL!

I gotta build another shed...

I'd just love to see the owners actually using these tiny, goofy looking things! Talk about people of walmart,lol!

yes they guy looks like a yuppie I cant see using one of those

That's too funny Ray! Think about ALL, and I mean ALL, the money they could have saved by not having that hood and grill unit!

Ray you wouldnt fit on it!

Well, there must be a reason the circus-like ride still looks new! He probably figured out, while he was enjoying his trip up and down the yard, the neighbor kid was out back with his girlfriend having pool time at the pool!

Cant beat a IH Cub Cadet, man!

Oh, I'm sure Ray can !

Vince,
You sit on that you can have your Iron city and chips too,as your belly would do the steering

Man u guys should b ashamed of yourselves! Turning this fine tractor into a big joke. First making fun of the tractor,then making fun of the guy on the tractor, then comparing the guy to Ray, then the poeple at walmart, then poking fun of vinny. Where is it going to end ! I think the "guy" is rather good looking.

My belly hits just about everything. Its the first point of impact

JLazar · Post by **JLazar** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 12:33 am

Ray is one of us! That is a God fearing, IH Cub Cadet enthusiast!

As far as that Craftsman's craftsman,.... whoa

God Bless everyone, and have a good Thanksgiving! Has been a comical thread, thank you.

He also needs to give the ten yo boy back his pants......talk about high waters,sheesh

I thought I saw an NOS hyd lift and cat 0 3 pt for one of those on Ebay.

dag1450 · Post by **dag1450** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 8:36 am

Mike, I looked on ebay for that 3 pt and could not find it. I really dont see where it would bolt on ? Maybe i will give Ray a call, If anyone would know about this it would b him.

Dave,I suspect if you put a cat zero on that thing it would do a perpetual wheelie

dag1450 · Post by **dag1450** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 3:44 pm

John, is this what u mean about saving money on the hood and grill ? I saw this for sale at Walmart ! This is a true "cyclops"

I need to keep that photo in my truck for the times I have a Cub in the back when people say "why you haulin a riding lawn mower around".

JLazar · Post by **JLazar** » Wed Nov 27, 2013 12:00 am

dag1450, That is a interesting little beast! I have to wonder how much more hard was it to push mow, than to ride one of these? I guess we're better off riding something,

Lance · Post by **Lance** » Wed Nov 27, 2013 2:49 pm

I saw one of those "stick steer" mowers in the dumpster a few years back. Way far gone to try to hoist out for recue. You know the yuppie on the mower is just glad he's not having to use the old reel mower anymore and getting his Keds sneakers all grass stained. Have a great day! Lance
