Thanks Friend
I couldnt decide to go with red or yellow
I think I like the contrast the way it is
The thing I really like is it takes about 5 minutes to switch to a different implement

You fellars might be able to mow down there but it has rained or snowed here about every day since before turkey day.
As I said I still have to get the shaft right but I had to wind her up and I have no doubt It will mow .
Thanks Cub Bud

You said that as a joke but ..... I .....Have mowed snow
If it under about 3 inches and powdery and you have one of those leaf raker blades on it don't do bad .

I got to find a way to float a loan and convince the better half to let me buy an RM 42 for sale locally for $800.00, he also has a root rake (3 pt.) that I can convert to F/H. Maybe a package deal? He also has a late model cub w/ cults., rear blade and moldboard for sale. Jim Hudson posted pics ot several months ago. An RM42 would be a good replacement for a aging Snapper 30

Great job! Now is that still a "finish" mower? Or is it more of a rough cut (bush hog) type mower?
I agree with your choice of color as well, love the contrast. In fact, I really like the looks of that yeller cubby!
Hummmm... maybe, just maybe, that would be a way for me to convince my wife I DO need another cub. "But honey, they're not the same at all, look this one is yellow, it's newer, AND look at the seat honey, it's sooooo comfy YOU may even want to drive it"
