He Raised An Old Cub To New Heights AG WORLD Frank King makes it easy for visitors to find his Waynesburg Penn home He tells them to watch for the Cub Cadet mounted on a steel post at the end of his driveway     “I have five Cub Cadets that run The mailbox was made with a carcass I’d taken parts from ” explains the Cub Cadet collector and restorer     Since he had removed the engine transmission and other parts there was plenty of room to slip a mailbox into the front and cut out a muffler-shaped piece of metal for a flag     He found the center of gravity and made an angle iron bracket for the bottom of the tractor to bolt to the metal post He set the Cub in place with a front-end loader     Other than adding a propane cylinder to replicate a starter/generator and giving the model 105 Cub a fresh coat of paint there wasn’t much to the project King says     “Compared to restoring Cub Cadets it was easy ” King says “I take them entirely apart and paint and put them back together again I have a 1963 Model 70 - that was the first year International made them - and I keep it pristine ”     For many folks however the Cub on the post is also impressive It’s caught the attention of passersby and has been photographed for local papers     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Frank King 417 Water Dam Rd Waynesburg Penn 15370 ph 724 852-4416; frangiek@gmail com
