Ya I love my cub. I use it mostly just to ride around on , put a plow on it sometimes, haul things with it. I usually cut my yard grass with my snapper since I have a lot of things to cut around and it has a smaller deck. The guy that rebuilt my engine has always been really fair with his labor prices. But in the last year or so his business has picked up so he bought his building instead of renting and is remodeling it. I guess his prices went up also. The people that I know that pulls cubs told me it shouldn't have cost over $300.00 including labor so I guess I contributed $250.00 for his new work place. I want to give him the benefit of doubt so that's why I'm asking, I live in the rural south where lawn mower shops are about every 10 miles and I cant afford to keep paying that much extra when it would be no problem to take my stuff to some one else
