56 Lo Boy

Hi all
Just bought a 56 Lo Boy...what differentiates a 154, 184, etc. Does the 56 fall into this somewhere?

No, the number series came later.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Your LoBoy is the same as your 57 Cub except that it has been lowered by shortening the front axle spindles, rotating the rear finals 90*, etc.. The numbered LoBoys (154, 185, 184) all have the engine centered and not offset.

Hi,
Here is a pic of a Cub 154 LoBoy. They were made from 1968 - 1974, the info on this site says. :)

Thank you. Are all the standard cub manuals also for the 56 Lo Boy?

Hi,
Here is the 1957 Cub LoBoy owner's manual, it is the first LoBoy owner's manual in the list where this one is. :)
