SousaKerry 500 #2 Posted July 1, 2012 O btw anybody got a guess on the age and model if the cub l don't know the first thing about them. Did have a k-301 in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diesel cowboy 263 #3 Posted July 1, 2012 Great score. The cadet is a model 1250. 12 horse hydrostatic drive. They were made from oct. of '74 to june of '80. There a great machine. Just need to check the motor mounts because when they get worn out they have a tendancy to shake badly and loosen up the bolts that hold the pan to the mount rails and wipe out the pan because its aluminum. And maybe try to find the missing shrouds that go over the muffler. It realy helps on the cooling. And alot of the attachments are the same as the previous two generations so they should be easy to find if you want to use it for that. Whats the attachment coming off the back? Hope this helps, Stewart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 500 #5 Posted July 1, 2012 I have no idea what that thing is maybe some type of crane boom? Definatly a cobble job has a hydraulic cylinder on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 500 #7 Posted July 1, 2012 That would make sense apparently the former owner used to own a mobile marina prolly used it to move the boats around there are 3 boats on the property all over grown with creeper vines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
312Hydro 473 #8 Posted July 2, 2012 When you pull the Cub and the discs, make sure to leave an old Wheel Horse seat in it's place. Might be worth going back in a few years and seeing what grew! Great find! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon Renaud 0 #10 Posted August 1, 2012 I have no idea what that thing is maybe some type of crane boom? Definatly a cobble job has a hydraulic cylinder on it. I'd almost bet there is a trailer ball on the end of that boom so they could drive up to a boat and trailer slide the ball under the tongue and lift it and drive off without leaving the tractor seat. there is also a likelyhood that there is a padded V bar like on the front of a boatr trailer that fits across the bow to push off boats from a beach , A marina here had a rig along these lines and thats how they used it moving trailers and launching boats.
