Picked this up in Wisconsin, East of Eau Claire. Weekend trip with my girlfriend, she wasn’t sure what we were doing. Ate at this little cafe in town with homemade bread, delicious. Got back to the Twin Cities and cut a deal for a 1512 up in Albany. Then over to Belgrade to look at another Cub.  She was such a trooper giving up her weekend. I knew on this trip that I loved her and would be marrying her. So supportive of my hobby. Love you Cathy. Can’t wait for our next adventure.

Restorations

My Dad has spent hours helping me restore an Original (4-Digit), 782d, 1650 (Our First One) and a 100 (My Grandfather’s). The 100 and Original are ground up restorations with every bolt IH stamped.

An Original! Picked this up from the son of the original owner. Told me about how his dad used it daily around their hobby farm. Has creeper gear and rear lift. I wanted this one to actually mow with. Deck is in great shape. It does an okay job slow and steady. 1962 and still running like new. Even has the original place of purchase Maki Implement.

The beginning of a blog and a dream!

This blog was started to honor the legacy of these machines passed down through my family.  My grandfathers and great grandfathers have taught me so much about life through our time working on our cub cadets.  I have a collection  of over 14 cub cadets and my dream is to open a museum one day to teach the younger generations about not only this machine but about life and the hard work it takes to keep going through the years....
