Good Morning fellow Rhode Islander!
 

I don't live far from you at all, I'm in the Edgewood section of Cranston (at the beginning of Warwick Avenue).. I've only been collecting tractors since last July, but in that amount of time I have amassed three Cubs, A 1963 Original, a 102 with a deck and a 122 with a plow (plus 5 or 6 John Deeres, 4 Sears Suburbans, and a Single Massey Ferguson. We will have to get together soon to talk tractors. I'll send you my contact info in a PM. Welcome to the Forum!! Regards, Paul Lefebvre

Nice to meet you!
 

Nice to meet you Paul! My name is Brad. You're actually not that far at all from me. I live in Oakland Beach about half way up O.B. ave. I work in lakewood near the post Rd, warwick ave intersection. I've been into fixing small engines for most my life and do it for a living. I've been wanting an old Cub Cadet since I was a boy. And finally got one in October 2015. I was very excited when I got it but I didn't realize how addicting it is! I now own a 102, 122, (2) 123's, a 1450 and a1650. And I don't see the end in sight. I love working on them and driving them. And I have met some great people along the way. I've also learned a lot as well. My license is kind of suspended right now, but it would be nice to get together some time. Your more than welcome to come by and check out my tractors sometime. Have a great day

Nice collection!

Thank you! I'm still looking for a 125 Cub. I'm going to possibly getting another 122 running project and a running and driving 127 which will need a partial mechanical restore. I met the guy from Craigslist this week. He had parts listed on there and I contacted him to buy steering parts. He gave me both steering "knuckles" for 20 dollars. But he has a decent collection himself. And he has interest in my 1650. So I feel a barter coming on lol.. Other than that I finally found a snow blower attachment which I have to pick up this week. QA42 I believe, all there ready to bolt on for 100 dollars. On another note. The last tractor I bought is a 122, 2 weeks ago. I bought it because its all original. I wanted the seat for my 123. It had 2 little holes in it, that's all. Well I went and sat on it the other day when it was 30 degrees and now it has a huge crack in it. I need to find someone who can upholster it the right way around here.
