I've had three Cub Cadets, but always wanted one of those numbered Loboys. After seeing your pictures, Ralph, you know what? I still want one! But now I want one worse! Beautiful job, as always...

Ralph,

Outstanding, as usual!!!

Did you fabricate the bumper? Is that bracket on the front for a hitch ball?
