OK, Posting was easier on computer. I have been posting from phone. I'll post some better ones soon.

This cart was a big hit. The kids love being pulled around. No one has even demanded to ride on my lap, which was my hope.

Silly me. I have already tried to open the hood without dropping the brush guard. lol

Whoops lol, did you scratch it?

HRSx2 · Mar 28, 2017

No. But it sure scared me! The top bar is round and I wasn't lifting hood with any force. So no harm done. This is the problem with new stuff. This is a tool, but almost too pretty to use. That first scratch is going to kill me. Ha, ha.

I remember my last new riding mower. It was a Cub Cadet from Lowes. It actually had a drive shaft and Briggs Vanguard engine. It came with a metal cart or I had one from prior mower. I can't quite remember which. But one day soon after buying it I was driving it into the basement like an idiot. My boot got hung on the pedal somehow and I plowed right into the cart. Big ding that I had to beat out and repainted best I could. I said a few choice words when it happened but funny thing is, years later, I hardly even noticed. All that worry over a tool I simply gave away before looking at the John Deere. I'll try to take better care of this one.

That is a sharp looking tractor, you make a good choice there. She will last a really long time and as far as just giving away your older cub, that's admirable. Something I hope some day I will be able to do when I'm done with my stuff.
