1957 Loboy. My one and only Cub. Bought it from a fella SW of Chicago who had it on eBay. He bought it from the local school district, Morris I believe, in 1985 where it was used for mowing since new. After he bought it an oak limb dropped on it and caved in the gas tank. Had a local body shop owner look at the hood. He chained it to something heavy, welded I dunno what to the dents and used more chain to hook those to a forklift and pulled the dents out. Filled it and primed it and gave it back to me. I did the rest of the tractor.

Not sure. I painted that tractor in 2009. I think at the time I liked the look. Might be because I would pull wagons with it and it gave it more stability. Has a mid mount sickle on it now. Might be my 6'4" 230 lbs looked less ridiculous on it with it set wide. :)
 
When I was a youngster working for harvester a guy your size bought a Low Boy and I was told to move the seat back for him . He was still a little tight. I turned the throttle bracket around an got one of the real mechanics to weld it. He gave me a ten dollar tip! In 1970 that was a fortune. I did mine too.

Good idea! I like the flag holder too. I forgot to add the tractor did not come with a fast hitch. I bought a box of parts with yellow paint on them that was supposed to be a complete loboy fast hitch. Seller was in Cincinnati so I had him strap the box to a pallet and truck it up to me. Blasted and painted it and put it on the tractor. Turned out it was a complete FH.

That is a flail mower hooked up to it. I have a bunch of loboy implements I have collected since then. All but the sickle are fast hitch. It came with a Woods belly mower but I had no use for it. This flail mower was down in Columbus. A local guy picked it up for me on the way home from the Barnyard Bash cub show that year. Nice guy, wouldn't accept gas money.
 
here is my 1957 Loboy, at the RPRU in Illinois in 2012.

A couple times, we didn't even make it out of New York before someone at a rest area asked if I wanted to sell it.
