I'm starting this thread to have a "Geezer Story" of my trip to the show. I'm going to set up an exhibit on a card table in the Cub Cadet area with some of the Memorabillaa (Mostly about Originals and the M&W 9 Speed) that I have collected over the 12 years I have been going to tractor shows. This is an IH show put on by Chapter 17 of H Collectors. If your planning to come to the show as a guest or as an exhibitor you can post here. I will be taking a lot of pictures. I will check this thread tomorrow after noon right before I leave and look to meet you Friday & Saturday.

Brandon Smith is already to exhibit. If you look me up and a member of "Cub Cadet Collector dot com" i will have a small gift for you. Here is the first picture

This gentleman( I can't remember names) but he won the 73 Cub Cadet we collected parts for during the year before the show at Fort Allen. The year before we did build an Original but a lot of the parts weren't gone over and primed and the motor needed overhauled. Th 73 had a rebuilt motor an most of the parts got primed but different shades of gray. He still has it.

Thanks Brandon Smith for reposting your pictures. I did recieve some Pictures from an E-mail from Gene Preston.

I had mentioned that I had a gift for people who stopped and talked to me. The gift was the 4 page brochure on the M&W Brush hog and grass cutter.

I got the original brochure from a guy in NY that out bid me on E-bay. I E-mailed him and found out that he was coming to the 2003 IH winter Cnvention in Mars, PA. He is an IH collector and he came to my house to see the M&W(Edith)and Ted. My son, the printer copied and printed the brochures. I wanted to keep them off of E-bay and I was checking E-bay for about a year when a brochure did show up

I E-mailed him and found out it was an Original brochure. I also ended up with a price list that the Kauffman brothers found in a brochure that they bougtt on E-bay. I also had the History of M&W that I found on the internet. I even met the son of Mr Warsaw who never saw an M&W 9 speed.
