Hello from Billings Montana
 

I've been browsing your forum for a while now and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Kevin and I got hooked on Cub Cadets in the late 90's when I bought a 72 at a garage sale and spent the winter restoring it. Divorce later forced the sale of it....and I've regretted parting ways with her every since ( the cub of course) and I vowed to someday restore another..

This past year my father told me I could have his two old garden tractors if
I restored them both, and since the only deal better than a free tractor is two free tractors...I agreed

this is on the voyage to their new home

Ive been coming here about every other day to look at the
service manual as I put the 129 back together

Since i met a member of this forum while buying the paint for the case....I thought I'd add that its coming along as well :Duel:

Nice story Kevin and good looking tractors and implements!

:Welcome2:

Looks great and :Welcome2:

Welcome to OCC, Kevin! You're making great progress!

Kevin :Welcome2:

that's quite the free load! Dad did you good!

I like the case, 1st. Time I saw one,

Seems your Father worked his wisdom to save dem'dere ole tractors rather than a junk yard.:bigthink:

Nik

Welcome and great work on the resto.

Howdy! I spent a few years up in Libby, and the IH Cub Cadets are hard to come by! Your tractors are coming along great, wish I had that sort of time all the time, lol!

I thankyou all for the warm welcome. I told my wife I wasnt going to
get anymore than these two tractors......<---I said that with a straight
face too :biggrin2:

Anyway....the person that bought my 72 said he'd sell it back to me
and my dad found a 127 for a good price . So I might be rolling with 3 cubs before the year is over
