1512 Update

Post by cubcadet100 »

Got some goodies on the 1512 recently. Wheel weights along with rubber seat bumper and spring. I've really been enjoying this tractor! :beer:

Those front bumpers look great on Cubs! You have any plans to paint it? I think I see some weld that could get rusty. :beer:

Thanks Dave, yep it will get painted. Have to decide, if I want to keep it yellow or black.

Thanks Colin! Hope you've been doing well!

I had a black one on a 1872 I think it looked sharp! My vote is black!

I agree...black looks good... but I'm not sure if all the extra mounting mule will look good black. How about the whole thing white? Rust-Oleum has a color almond that is an amazing match to the 935. And it's only $6. :) Surprise us when you're done

I'm thinking you should remove that fancy bumper....and install the snowblower. How much are you supposed to get?

Had to have the water pump and thermostat replaced on the 1512. It's a runner again, so glad to hear the Kubota run again! Here's a vid of the celebratory lap. Sorry for the poor quality. :beer:

Oh no! Was it leaking coolant? Or did pump seize up? Glad it's back in shape. You should put a mower under that thing....that would be a lot more seat time! :)

Hey Dave, it seized up on me. It's running fine now. Got the side panels back on. :beer:
