    IH Cub just quits

    I have a 1964 IH Cub lowboy with a belly mower. I have used it this year with no problems. Pulled it out of the garage for it to warm up and start and ran fine and then died and won’t start since. Gas drips out of the weep hole. Cranks over fine. Any ideas?

    IH Cub radiator plug out - what to do before I reinstall?

    Had a radiator leak in my Cub Lo-Boy. Couldn't remove the drain plug, so I took the radiator out and caught the antifreeze in a tub. Drained the bolster and filled the plug hole with PB Blaster. I only have a small propane torch, but it was enough heat to allow me to break the plug free. I...

    I bought the tractor last year, actually went for the rear Cadet tiller, hoping it would work on a friend's Cub 129, but the seller had the 124 ( for which the tiller intended) dismantled and had given up on repairing the engine so I picked up both. Over the winter I reworked the engine because...

    Mowing with an IH Cub?

    I've been searching for a GT to use at the mower for my camp. I ran across a 50's vintage IH Cub with belly mower for what I think is decent money - I'm thinking of maybe getting that to mow the grass. Seems the coolness factor and fun of mowing with a vintage Cub would far outstrip any GT I...

    IH Cub Lo-Boy

    My brothers father-in-law passed away last fall. The family is going to sell the IH Cub Lo-Boy that was in the barn and giving me first shot. No one knows the year or much about it.

    I looked at and drove a 16hp Cub loboy, 1953, today, which is for sale. Both reverse and 1st gear make noticeable gear noise. 2nd and 3rd gears don't do this at all. Is the gear growling in low gears normal for these units? Owner says he's had it 35 years and "it's always been like that"...

    Kubota G6200 or IH Cub Cadet 982??

    I have been shopping for a lawn tractor, and I have it narrowed down to Kubota G6200 for $1400 (asking) and a IH Cub Cadet 982 for $1000. The Kubota is in decent shape - the diesel runs well, the 40" (yes, 40") deck is heavy and solid. However, the fiberglass body has one long crack above the...
