What a fine machine you have. It must be a pleasure to leap onto that puppy and get some work done! Those mid mount blades are handy. --tell us more about it's capabilities as well as any issues you have had. Do you know the year it was manufactured?
Gary, thank you very much for the kind words. This Cub is a 1953 that I purchased as a non-running "fence row special". I went through everything on it rebuilding or repairing as I went. That was about 15 years ago and the tractor has never let me down. Even in -20 degree weather it will start and run like a champ. It still has it's original 6 volt system which is very robust and works flawlessly. For pushing snow here in Michigan, I have the blade mounted in the front of the tractor. That's one thing nice about the design of the Cubs 54A Grader and Leveling Blade, it can be mid mounted for grading work or front mounted for snow plowing. You are correct, this tractor is a pleasure to run and I look forward to using it daily. Thanks for watching!!
