13 pointsAs much as I like the garden tractors, I have a few and have own probably literally 100s over the years, I always wanted a bigger tractor. My first choice would be a John Deere two cylinder one, like a H, M, 40, or maybe a L or LA, but most I've seen are above my budget, and most of the ones that I've seen for sale, except the L and LA which hardly ever come up for sale, are tri-fronts, which I hate. My second choice has always been a Farmall Cub, preferably the earlier red standard ones. So, I have been on the hunt for one. I've seen and drove several over the past several weeks. I narrow it down to a '52 and a '47. I ended up choosing the '47 mainly because of the owners. They are an elderly couple who are now developing health related issues. They have the Cub and a Farmall M that they take to shows and parades, but now have to quit and sell off their tractors. He is a retired mechanic, so the tractors are in great shape, cosmetically and mechanically. He is going deaf and she is now in the early stages of Alzheimer's. She fell and hit her head on the M at their last show, so they knew it was time to stop. They are a great couple, honest, and really nice people. I felt like I would be honored to own their little Cub and so the choice on which one I would buy was really influenced by them. I know you shouldn't be influenced by emotion when purchasing things, but it just felt right. I found a couple of tractors that had wheel weights, implements, and attachments, but the tractor had to be right. I can always buy implements over time when they become available, plus I'm just north of JP Tractor Salvage in Fredricktown, Missouri which has the rear wheel weights for $65 a set, and I have a set of the front wheel weights that I have been using on the rear wheels of my garden tractors. JP has plenty of implements and/or can get them in as they get new inventory all the time. 1947 was the first year of the Cub.

6 pointsDon't want to be "stoned" off this site but wanted to show you the last restoration (working tractor) I finished with a Sears Suburban SS15 which was covered but in the "woods" for 20+ years. Was totally worth the effort and the thump of the OLD B&S 15 is a Joy...... Here's some Before and Afters Everything from the carb to the transmission need work but it was and is a solid as a rock......!
-
6 pointsSo before parking the ol horse I took a couple pics of its glory. I haven't rode it since before I put the massey weights on. I took it around the yard, then on the road down and back a few times for exercise, then put it back in the shed and wiped her down.
-
6 pointsI talked to Steve yesterday and he is indeed not going to be there. He missus us already as we will miss him.

6 pointsBe safe everyone and have fun. Even though I about cut the miles in half I'll be missing it this year . I've already made it clear that I'm going next year. I'll be looking forward to seeing tons of pictures.
-
6 pointsAfter some mild discussion (ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!! YOU'RE GOING WHERE!!!!) and the doctor's approval, I'm going to be taking a day trip to the Show on Friday. Bringing my 856 to ride around on. It's a little over 3 hrs each way so I'll probably leave before cruise night. But I plan on being there. YAHOO!

4 points@Ed Kennell Ed I can't tell if you just are returning from an auction or loading up to sell your stuff to make room for another horse. I will see you , Jeff , Squonk and the rest of the guys and ladies on Friday. Don't sell everything before I get there. What time does the Show start on Friday?
-
4 pointsIt will take a couple of us to make up for @stevasaurus not being there, unless he was just yanking our chain!
-
4 pointsWhen I had my Goldwing, I made it a tradition to drive up to Sodus Pt. on the Lake Ontario shoreline the day before leaving and get a couple of hots and mac salad and sit on the beach and just enjoy the breeze. 3 yrs. ago I went up there and the place was closed!!! So I had to make up a new one. so from now on it's a drive to Lyons to the Hot Dog Caboose and get my dogs and salad. Even met an extra dog named Teddy!
-

3 pointsJust wondering how many of you remember the old Swisher lawn mower, one of the first zero turn mowers on the market. These machines had two speeds with a single front wheel drive, to go in reverse you simply turned the steering wheel 180 degrees. I've owned a couple of these, they were neat little machines that were a blast to drive. Down falls were, no adjustment on the deck height, and the deck was part or the chassis so it did not float. Well with retro styling being so popular, I guess Swisher has decided to jump on the band wagon. For the low low price of $3400 you can now own a retro swisher zero turn with a 32" deck. Personally I think that they went a lil over board on the price, but it's kinda cool that they brought the old styling back.

3 pointsI believe that on yours the pedal on the left side only places lever in neutral position, it's really not a brake. I am not sure about the GT 14, but I also have a c165, that that same pedal is also a brake. It has an actual brake band. There is really no brake on the Charger 12.

3 pointsLooks for this kid on this one. Has black wheels now along with a few modifications and says "Bo's Hot Rod" on the back
-
3 pointsI spent time off and on the last few days working on Emory's Lawn Ranger. I just have to rig an old push mower tank I have until I can find a gas tank. He wanted me to take his picture sitting on it and post it up. He's planning on bringing it to the big show with us - one happy boy!!
-
3 pointsThe Ponds cast that there so 45 years later a bunch of guys would be sitting around going "wonder what that notch is there for?"
-
2 pointsI'm bringing my dad's old 502, I just don't think I have the time to work with it. I have to choose my projects. The deck looks in really good shape. He used it with a blade. It will run, it just needs some work. Also an extra deck suspension and gears.
-
2 pointsJeff, I've got to give it to Emory. He's never complained about having trouble with his right side, but is willing to do anything to get more use of it and driving his tractors is one heck of a motivator!!
