3 new to me cubs .

Post by Jlaws »

As if I didn't have a bad enough cub addition , I've started collecting the 1/16 models .
Cyclops , 682 , 3208 .

These little models can be pricey if they have not been played with and are still in the original box .
I'm just starting and I'm not that picky .


Anyone know how many different Cub cadet models Ertl has made over the years and what they are ?
Just the GT's not the larger tractors .

I'm trying to figure out how big of a display cabinet I'm going to need , and how much this might end up costing me.... :lol:

I have a feeling this cabinets going to be like when I built my cub garage ......get one size bigger than I think I'm going to need and it still eventually going to be to small . :lol:

That will b a good winter time hobby Jess. All is what u need now is a small scrap of astro turf and u can pretend to mow :lol: . I keep saving the 1980's style on my ebay watch list but...... they keep going over my budget. I know a guy in NY that has hundreds of toys like that, mostly the next size up. Now he is building those kits from wood like big rigs and heavy equipment. Good times! Dave

Dave , I've got a separate unheated garage and I'm not a big fan of the cold . So I end up spending to much time on the computer and end up buying stuff that I really don't need like cub toys . I don't plan on getting into it hardcore , just a few of the models I really like if the price is right .

I also use this time of year to stock up on parts needed for my future cub projects .
I've got a couple of Originals and a 782 that I hope to get in paint after the weather warms . I've also got a couple of 123's and hope to make one good runner out of the pair .

It seems that every time I get ready to finish these projects another cub shows up , and these projects get temporarily set aside .
I see a lot of cub cadets while going down the tracks , its a shame I can't pull over and ask about them .
