Fritz,

We have a 1960 Cub with a 4' belly mower and it does a great job in fairly heavy grass. We also have a couple other Cubs that don't run with the finish type mowers (3 blades). I understand they do a smoother job on "lawns"--just haven't gotten around to getting them running. We just have weeds down here with a little St. Aug mixed in. The down side of Cubs--they're not good where you have a lot of interferences/trees/shrubs, etc. You have to come to a complete stop to change gears as the tranny is not synchonized and also you have to wait until the PTO pulley stops turning. It's easy to get used to that, but for those who have operated ZTR type mowers or any hydrostatic tranny units, the Cub will be considered cumbersome. However, I've got a soft heart for the old iron and wouldn't spend money on a throw-away mower.
