Sold that cub yesterday. Guy called with in 5 minutes of me advertising it on Facebook market place. Lived an hour away. One hour after we spoke he pulled in the yard. In that hour had 2 more folks asking about it. One couple is coming this morning to look at another one. Then my wife and I are going to look at this low boy.........dont want supply to get low!

I guess I can put a mower under the low boy? Wife says it might be " purple #2" 😍
 
Kevin I need to recruit you for sales. I just threw out a low price on my crawler and nothing but crickets. Lol

Tucker. Actually have enough set aside for that rough off set I posted about. Just not sure I need it........ It's a whole different ball game, and cultivators would be high dollar and hard to find...... May hold out for a nicer one 😉
 
I think the cubs are selling because folks with 2-5 acres of grass want a cheap mower. Have you seen the cost of lawn " tractors" at the big box stores!!! I can buy 10 cubs for what they want for one! Now about that crawler......free delivery??
 
That is one reason I use my 8N to pull a finish mower.
Does not jar my poor old back.
Maybe I need a Low Boy and mower to free up the 8N for other summer jobs.

Ok. If you get the lowboy and paint purple your wife has to call it “Eggplant”.

We had a yellow Cub LoBoy with a 60" belly mower that we used to maintain our property, I was not a big fan of the tractor. I replaced it with an Oliver S-55, live PTO, 6 forward gears instead of 3, 30 hp instead of 12, disc brakes instead of band, etc. The final straw was when my wife ran into a fruit tree because the mower momentum prevented her from getting stopped. I tried to retrofit an ORC to the belly mower, but couldn't make it work.

The Cub is better than a push mower or a wheel barrow, but the S-55 is better yet.

The local IH dealer here sold a passel of the red and also the yellow and white old style cubs regular and the lowboy version of them before he retired around 1965. I never had one of the regular cubs but made the mistake of buying a 154 Low Boy Series and it turned out to be a disaster. Had endless clutch problems but one of the worst thing was the live pto was a 15/16" eighteen splined counter clockwise rotation pto shaft. The mower had to be made specifically for it. Fortunately Mott made a flail mower for it, the CLB 60 series mower. I bought it for using with the IH loader on it, that was about a disappointment also, it was under powered greatly. This was nothing like the performance of the regular cubs that were around here that I thought were good. Having that one was like owning a boat, glad to get it but gladder to get rid of it!

Good morning, RCP: I have a 1958 Lo-Boy with belly mower. I believe mower was made by Woods with specific brackets, etc. to fit a Lo-Boy. It has an over-running clutch built into the top of the blade spindle, with the pulley on top.

I have a Low Boy and put the 60 inch International mower that was made by Danco, under it. Three blade finish mower. It does OK if you don't let the grass get too far ahead of you. You can get a PTO drive pulley with an over running clutch built in. I don't have one, but they say it helps on stopping and changing gears. As in forward to reverse. My Low Boy is a 1968 model, Squared off hood and grill. Yellow and white. We had to make the hitch for it. Not too hard. Can send pics of hitch,etc. if you need them.
