Hello from balmy central PA

Hello everyone! I'm on a few other forums and decided to join here because I just acquired a Cub Cadet Original from my grandfather in Montana. He said it is "registered somewhere" and I found the serial number registered here on this in the "1961 Originals". Long story short (as I understand it), it came from Pennsylvania originally, from Johnstown at some point I think he said, and then his son (my uncle) bought it, and took it out to Montana with him (they were originally from PA). Then his son sold it to him, he did some work on it and mowed with it some and then it went into storage for a number of years. He offered it to me a while back since he heard I had some Cub's, and in May we planned a trip out for two weeks of sight seeing all the way across the country and to visit, and I brought it back with me (along with a Jacobsen Chief and Sears ST/10). The serial number is "13718" and the list here says it was Mike Toney in Fairview PA who owned it. Fairview appears to be near Erie, which is nowhere near Johnstown. Is this the definitive "registry" site or is there another one somewhere? I was expecting it to be registered by my uncle, but I don't know for sure. I've attached a few pictures of it as well. I've had and currently run several Cub's for work on my property, but this is my first "collector" Cub. I also have a 122, and a 1912. I've had a 100, 123, 682, 782, 1811, 2284, 1872, at various times over the course of the past several years. I pick them up on the cheap, and try to fix them up and use them for a while and sell them, or if they get into too many headaches I part them out so others can keep running.
