    MY vote is for the 140 with the one point hitch , one point equipment can be found . I love it ---I can change implements with just a hook ( Lift locking pawl on fast hitch) and never leave the tractor seat . Has more power then other models .

    C and Cub Belly Mower

    I bought a woods 59 last year for my cub , I paid $275.00 off ebay for it , It was local , I spent another 100 bucks one new blades and bearings . Important that you have ALL of the brackets to hook it up !! They can get very expensive from woods !

    farmall cub

    Check for intake leaks , easy to do . with tractor running , spray starting fluid around intake manifold . If you have a leak RPMs will speed up. WD40 will do the same thing . I would check for fuel flow .
