the wait is killing me....
 

You know that feeling of anticipation of getting a new toy, and not being able to wait for it... Well, I've been having it for close to a month now. I've got a new to me IH and haven't been able to get time to go get it.... I'm going to try my best to go on the 22nd. I'm going crazy staring at pictures of it!

:WWP: What is it your getting?

I'm with Todd, what are you waiting for? :bigthink:

I'm getting a 127 from a fellow member :) I love my 'O' but I just can't find anything for it. The 127 should give me a lot more options.... at least that's what I told my wife...

I don't know how you can be lolly gagging and not picking the tractor up. :beerchug: Let us stare at the pics with you!

Congrats on your 127! Can't wait to see your pics. :beerchug:

well between me and my wife we have about the craziest work schedule around. Even though I work from home, I'm on the road quite a bit. My wife takes call every other weekend, and I was supposed to be going to NY today to get it, but she had to take call.... It's going to be a decent road trip. Next weekend will literally be the first weekend in over a month that I should have free. I'm getting anxious!!!!!

Hows this for an idea? Since I live in NY, send me the address and I'll go pick up the 127 and send you the money. That kills two birds with one stone - relieves the stress and anxiety of the wait and it saves you that looong road trip from WV.

I have a better idea....SHUT IT DOWN for a weekend! Tell the wife, if the phone rings and its anyone other than Ed McMahon telling you hes coming with a big cheque and a camera crew, that you have all moved and no forwarding address was left! And if it happens to be Ed McMahon, tell him you will meet him on the road somewhere between home and where that Cub is sitting, crying out your name...... :biggrin2.gif: Think that will work? I'd be telling the wife, she could come along if she wanted to, but that you were going. Enough is enough .... How can a person handle such torment? :Explode: :Woo: .... Sounds like a ROAD TRIP to me.

Oh yeah.....:WWP: :WWP:

I've got it all planned out now. :) I'm heading up next Saturday the 22nd. I'm looking forward to the trip. I always head south, never north, so this will be a first for me.

I know I'm gonna have a bunch of questions. I'm gonna love to get a tiller and make this a real worker. My wife is gonna shoot me if I semi-retire my '09 GT2544 after only a year or so... :biggrin2.gif:

If it's Ed McMahon, you need to check your pulse, since he's been dead for a few months, the only way you're going to meet him if your dead also.

road trip tomorrow!!!!!! I think my dad is more excited than me. He just wants to go to Niagara falls. :)

Have a safe trip! Looking forward to your pics. :beerchug:

gcbailey,

You heading up I-79?

Coming to Buffalo??

The wait is over!!!!
 

Well I'm back!

Sorry I didn't get on here to read those couple of posts before hand. Yup, went up I-79 and through Buffalo. Went to Newfane and visited with Papaglide (Mike). Super guy! I guess we probably talked close to an hour and a half about cubs, tractors, everything in general. I left the proud owner of a 127 w/38" deck some spare parts a set of wheel weights and the awesome Ken Updike Cub Cadet book!!!! Again, Mike is an awesome guy with some cool toys, I was drooling over his SGT w/loader. I was truly honored to meet him and well worth the trip up to NY.

Call me crazy, but it was 537.1 miles one way. Me and my dad took the rest of yesterday to come back down to Niagara and browse around. There is no way I could live up in that part of NY. I would go bankrupt on old GTs!!!!! I couldn't believe all the old tractors you could see from the road. Nothing that like that exists in my part of WV. There is a lot of beautiful country up that way. I've never been north of Cincy, I prefer warm weather when I travel if you know what I mean.

I'm probably going to start asking a few questions about this 127 now, so be prepared.... I've cut my teeth some on the Original, time to learn some more on this beast now!!!
