NC Yankee
 

My name is Shane, I'm 35, and I'm from Raleigh NC. I actually don't own any tractor, yet. My grandfather had an old Cub Cadet 1450 and an old Simplicity we used to do work with. The 1450 was mostly used for plowing snow in the winter time up in the North East. Gosh that thing took a licking and kept on ticking. The simplicity was our mower/hauler for the property up in Ticonderoga NY.

I tried to get my Grandfather's old 1450 and found out it had been taken to the junk yard. Now that I'm a home owner I would love to get my hands on one of these oldie but goodies. I'm looking for a 1450, 782, and a 782D of course. I would like to find one that I don't have to restore. I came across a 1450 in Williamsburgh, va. I should have it in hand next week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNGgB0RW5vY

Anyway, I'm keeping my eyes peeled. I just want something to mow the lawn with and maybe plow some dirt around and the occasional snow here in NC. No pulling. I wouldn't abuse something so special.

My other hobbies include road racing my Nissan 240sx.

Shane :Welcome2:

I've got a good friend in Raleigh. Let me know if you need a local hook up. I'm a yankee in NC as well.:biggrin2:

Looking forward to your pics of your 1450 when you get it.

:WWP:

Thanks! One of the first things I need is the blade/plow attachment. Probably should get the weights and chains too.

Oh yeah! Those really help out! Shoot me a pm if you want some more info on my buddy. Oh he just sold his 982 and 782D in the past week.

:Welcome2: Shane! Glad to have you!

Welcome aboard Shane. I had a 1250 and really enjoyed it. I know the 1450 would be awesome with the hydro lift. Would make easy work of the snow blade and moldboard plow.

welcome were glad to have another nc yankee i would hate for duke to be the only one, lol.

ROFL! Tons of yankee's in Statesville! They say we all run out of gas here!:biggrin2:

I ran out of gas in Badin, moved here frome Allentown P.A. about 19 years ago.

Good to have you.
