I need someone who is magic with a cub or I need to get into a different mower. I have been mowing about 3-4 acres with my cub for about 5 years now. I bought this thing used at an auction back then. The serial no. says it's a 1977 model. I had it rebuilt as it smoked pretty bad when I got it and up until about two years ago everything worked well. I had to replace the coil and I messed up the timing while checking the distributor over. I have re timed according to the manual, advanced and retarded and everything I can think of on this. It either wants to run real hot and have no power and if I adjust it I can get the power back once it warms up and the overheating goes away but, the thing runs rough as all get out until it's really warmed up. Now I have smoke again so I may have cooked the rings . I just want to mow grass without a big hassle. What would you do? Get a zero turn and part out the cub?, try to get it right?, trade on a bigger machine with more muscle? I don't mind cutting grass so much as I don't like fighting with the equipment every time I need to get a job done. I have even been considering a three point hitch mower for behind the farm tractor to take the load off the cub but, the ground here is hilly and I don't know what the results of running a three point mower will be with that. Whatever I do I'll be buying used as I just cannot go get anything new. What are you guys cutting with?

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
