This is my newest Cub pickup. Picked it up around Christmas time from a guy I work with. It had been sitting for about 10-12 yrs in his shed. The driveshaft had broke and he never fixed it. It came with a drive shaft he had made up. The shaft was within spec but he couldn't get it to fit in so he just gave up on it. I got the shaft installed and started going thru the engine. Cleaned out carb, new fuel lines and fuel filter, air filter and spark plug. Key switch was shot so I got a new one. Fired it up and this is one sweet running Mag 10. I am amazed at how well this old beauty runs. I was skeptical about the Walbro carb but so far it purrs like a kitty. It came with working headlights and tail lights, spring assist which were installed at the dealer when bought. I got a 44c deck with it that needs some attention but it solid. For $200 I'm not complaining.

These 1050's are cool little Cubs. I've got my eye on another one just got to convince the guy it would be in better hands with me than him. He wants me to trade my JD 140H3 for it. Doubt that will happen.Comment

Congrats on the 1050.
Looks clean. I think you did good at $200...
What, everyone wants to be like Jon?
They can't all be turn key.
Make the best of each and every day.

Congrats on the 1050 Kelly!!! No matter what model of Cub it is, you can't go wrong with $200. I know I say it all the time, but I love my 1050. It's a great tractor. Makes me really want to find an 1806. I think I liked it more after adding the creeper. With that 10hp in it, I needed a slower gear. I had to use the creeper mowing yesterday. Waited too long for the first cutting. Anyway, it sounds like you already love it. No way I'd trade a 140H3 either!!

Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's obsolete!
I've got a lot of Cubs in the barn....but I have more implements/attachments!Comment

That's actually quite a bit for a 1 year only tractor!~Jonathan

@Shrewcub:
I actually wasn't thinking about CubCrazy..... but I'm sure he has few. I was thinking of "Arnie Cunningham" or "Alvy".... Mike Alvarez. (I hope that is the right last name, lol.)
@Kyocum: I'm thinking there is probably as many or possibly even less of them than the 800. That said, I've seen probably 3 for sale since I bought mine.

Great find! Starting to think I need to have a 1050 to be in this Cub club!
I have a 1086... is that close enough? It is a gear drive at least 😁Comment
