1948 Farmall Cub C-3 mower deck ready to cut!

Finished getting the 48 back in action so it can cut grass this year. Has the International C-3 rotary mower deck on it.

Love to see these things showing us what it was like back in the day.

Back in the day?! I’m still using them lol

@@origionaldz that's awesome. I own a 1980's John Deere mower and it still has clutch and stickshift. It's even fun if you ask me. If I'm gonna do my work then I'm gonna do it in style... One guy once came up to me and said something along the lines of "it's so great to see these old units still running". I sat on my buddy's new X350 and I felt so old...

Build quality is nowhere near this these days. Its all plastic. I just rebuilt a v-twin engine on a newer mower 2017 because the headgaskets blew at 330 hours. I will say the new stuff has better seats. I gotta adapt something other than a steel pan on this one lol

@@origionaldz yeah I'm keepin mine forever. They should start making manual trannys again

Where did you get the mower deck wheels from? I need to get new ones for my C3 mower.

[@origionaldz]

Tractor supply. They are grease able, they just have plastic hubs instead of the factory ones which were metal.

[@Craignevis19]

OK. I just saw the same one at TSC yesterday. But they only had one for $100. Ended up ordering two from Hamilton Bob’s today. With tax and shipping came to $120/pair. Thanks.

@@Craignevis19these were only about $25-30 a piece. The hamilton bobs cubs ones look nice
