Next time we get good snow I'll make a video of plowing with it. I was out the other night pushing 14" of soft powder and a young guy came out of the house across the street (boyfriend of one of the breeders living there) and said "That thing does pretty good!" I allowed as how it was okay for a 1964. His face lit right up, then I pointed out its a 7 horse and he just couldn't belive it. On the next pass I lifted the plow as I hit the snowbank and stood the thing right up on its ass. The snowbanks here are pretty high now but the Cub has very little issue with them. I do need to get some new rear wheels and tires though, mine are correct for a later machine and while the wider tires are easy on the grass they don't get as good traction (even with chains) on the snow as I'd like... > > When I was a kid the neighbors had a battery powered electric mower, Case I think. Looked like a regular rear engine rider with no motor. The old guy (he was about a million years old when we moved there, didn't die for 20 more years...) kept that thing going. His granddaughter and husband bought the place. The new owner mows lawns on the side and has a big commercial walk behind. He asked if we wanted the mower but the bug hadn't yet caught me and I let it go by. > While I wouldn't trade my Cub on one I'd probably let my Snapper RER go by... > > -Curt > > Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2009 23:41:35 -0500 > From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: wish this were 200 miles closer... > To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Message-ID: <49b34c7f.7050...@voyager.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Alex Chamberlain wrote: > > On Sat, Mar 7, 2009 at 1:54 PM, Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> wrote: > >> http://columbus.craigslist.org/grd/1064827676.html > >> > > > > Deleted by author---what was it? > > > An electric Wheel Horse garden tractor, with dead batteries, electric front > mount mower deck, and electric snowblower, for $50.
