Of the several cubs and cadets i have used, one i put untold hours on cultivating vegetables. This poor thing had its block froze and broken in a horrid spiderweb all over itself. That was welded over a year period, one or 2 inches at a time, letting it cool. Then a few years later the head was taken off, and set outside with the engine exposed for 10 years. I soaked it, ran a hone down the exposed cylinder area, and got it apart. no gouges, or taper, just rust pits, so i rough honed it again, ran a finish hone down it, sandblasted the pistons and put new rings and bearings into it. except for a head that never would seal, and leaked forever externally despite several attempts to fix it, it ran great. we ran block sealer in it and fixed that. But one day i was loading out a cowpile in a outside pen, and got a Minneapolis Moline Big Mo 500 with a huge oversized loader buried to the axle. unbeleivably, 100 ft away on solid dry ground, with a chain and a strap, this same tired beat to near death CUB PULLED that Mammoth thing OUT!! IT still works a cultivator to this day, and has ungodly hours upon it. BUT its Useless right?
