I think I have a problem.
Hello cub fans, it was only two years ago I purchased my first IH cub. A 1250 model that I had when I was a kid cutting lawns for money and for my dad.
Then roughly a year or so later I bought a 127 of a guy that I wanted to restore. I have torn it down and am organizing parts and what I need to continue the restore.
As time went on I find myself obsessed with these machines. I pretty much gave up on hunting which has been my passion for years. I just don't get excited about it anymore. I recently bought a scrappy 62 off a guy about two weeks ago. I found myself driving a good distance to obtain the machine. On the drive home I was so proud to have it in my truck. The same feeling when hauling that trophy buck back home.
Now I find myself ready to purchase another machine. I feel like maybe I shouldn't but I really want to. I mean when is enough enough? People I know are already scratching their heads at me. They just don't understand that people do this as a hobby. I don't wish to part out or try to profit off my cubs. If anything I will simply give them to my kids as a part of me. As part of something I had a passion for throughout the years lord willing.
I am truly thankful to have this great forum to share my experiences and learn so much from others. Nobody I know personally cares about this stuff.
I just wish at least one of my friends, neighbors, or relatives would share in the conversation once in a while. Or even come over and check things out or I could help them with their project or something. Thank you guys for hearing me out.
