[Farmall] Cub Cadet regulator

[John Hall]

 For several years now we have seen parts prices so high on Cub Cadets that 
you can put more into one of them than they are worth for a lawnmower. I 
agree that you have to be a bit more cautious when buying parts--especially 
if money is an object. I'm also seeing a lot of stuff worn very badly to the 
point it needs remachining. I'm talking about parts so expensive that they 
were non-stock items when the equipment wasn't that old to begin with due to 
the prices!

Hey John, you are so right about the prices of parts anymore. Not only for 
the Cubs,
but for all the Old Iron machines. Just a couple years ago it didn't seem to 
bad, but lately
its seems to have sky rocketed. Its almost, I said almost taken the fun out 
of restoring.
I'm not giving up yet.
Doug
