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.

I have the same issue!! I find taking pics, and posting them on OCC does a LOT to relieve the problem!!

Hello, where are you in Ohio? The middle of nowhere. HaHa Try to find An antique tractor club or old engine club to join. They seem to be everywhere. You'll meet a lot of good similar minded people just like this forum. Mike

Sounds like your friends are the ones with the problem. Seriously, who doesn't want to own a bunch of cubs?

Be careful with your addiction or your friends and relatives will stage an intervention.

Hi, I'm Travis and I'm a Cubaholic, too!

I think my family is plotting something. I might just have to buy another Cub to see.

Hi, I am Brian and I am also a Cubaholic.
My little girl is 9 yrs old and when she brings me the laptop we share, she logs on to OCC for me. She thinks it is a cute little tractor and last nite told me she thinks she can drive it.

It may be contagious.

Yes, my wife especially is trying to get me help. All I keep saying is just one last cub. I don't care if my new car is outside this winter. Thank you guys for being honest and admitting your addiction as well. We will stick together and support one another as we continue to collect old yellow metal.

When my wife is displeased by my many hobbies I simply remind her that is can either be at home messing with this or out drinking and messing with other women, you pick.
