1965 Farmall Cub Lo-Boy. The Lo-Boy is much better suited than the regular Farmall Cubs to mowing under trees and on steep hillsides, due to its lower center of gravity and low overall height. This tractor needed the most work of all the Cubs to be useful. I had to split the tractor in order to replace the front transmission seal and rear engine seal. The Touch Control hydraulic system failed, and I had to rebuild it completely, and the steering arms were so badly bent that I could not align the steering. Now, with the Woods L59 mower, it does a better job than even the 1964 Cub. So I usually use it for most of my lawn mowing, except where the grass is very heavy, then I have to use one of the "brush cutters".
