OLD CUB(cadet) fan from Ohio

[littlehoss]

Good evening all,I thought it was time to introduce myself.I live on the family farm and have a collection of big cub tractors.I'm now the owner of 3 Os and a snow thrower,grader blade and mower deck.I want to start the restoration on the 1961 and will have a lot of questions.This will be my first real restoration in almost 45 years of collecting.I'm not to good with the computer,so it will be a slow process.I want to thank the ones who run this site and say i'm looking forward to learning a lot about the cadets.Rick

Rick,
I see you went big, got 3 to start with, I like your style! I have 5 or so Originals, learning as I fiddle with them, only a mile from you if you need anything. As mentioned there are other members around, Calvin Woodrey just up the road in Trenton, to name one. It should be a fun project with your grandson, my grandson is my shadow in the garage, "helping Papa work on tractors"!
Good luck,
David

Thank you both for the welcome.
JESS; You might have had me for a driver at PTI. I worked there for a while to fuel my railfaning hobby.Things did not work out so i retired from there to play with the tractors full time.I will keep in touch for some parts later.I'm looking forward to meeting yo.I'm sure we will have a lot to talk about.

Dave, I blame you for bringing me out of the CADT closet.After the bash and talking with you,I could't help myself.I found a real good deal on the tractors.I got everything for $500.00 and i'm happy with that.I told my wife,I'm buying a tractor for every pair of shoes she has in the closet.She just looked at me and said"OK".we need to get together and you can tell me what i should do next.Have a good day.I need to go get some baggies and tags to get started.Rick
