Hello All
First of all it is good to be wanted.
Second, Darryl you are correct it is the unit I talked you out of and I need 
to get back at restoring it, However, it is too cold to paint right 
now.,actually it just too cold.
Third Harold, I could have managed any other weekend this year. I would have 
even forgone the Wheelhorse show, church picnic, or even my wedding 
anniversary weekend to be there. But, I can't I, as part of the executive of 
our club I am part of the show committee, and I like the rest of the show 
committee have a number of critical functions and duties and as with most 
volunteer things there are way more jobs than volunteers.
And yes I really like to come and point out the the Cubs guys that they had 
a better product in 1974 than they have now. I can say this because I seen 
and played with the new unit it at my local Toro/Wheelhorse Cadet dealer (my 
happy place) the new Cub electric and Clearly I've been working in the Cub 
Rider, which BTW is even better built and put together than the best of the 
GE Elec-Traks, and I have a very high opinion of GE craftsmanship. The fit 
and finish is amazing the welds are a thing of beauty and it is built like a 
tank.  As wrought as it was Darryl, I broke no bolts, and stripped no 
threads taking it apart.  I can see why old Internation Cubs are such prized 
collectables.
Peace
