Ok...hope you aren't getting tired of my tractor pics...you see I finally figured out how to upload the pictures, so I am making up for lost time by posting them...

The story goes like this...Dad always said that Cub Cadet/International tractors were the best...he had a 129, then a 149 and finally he bought a new 1641 in 1994.
Well...back in the day I was a Deere man...so I didn't really appreciate how well these tractors were really built. However, when he passed away, I decided to restore his 1641 to like new condition in his memory. After tearing the tractor completely apart, I realized how well they were made! I have since grown to enjoy using them and restoring them.
My Dad's tractor has now been designated as the "show" tractor...shortly after restoring it, I found another 1641 and restored that...which will be used for snow duty.
Finally I found the 1864 which has been designated as the mower...so now I have one tractor to mow, one to blow and one for show!! Ha! Ha!
