About 5 years ago I had a health wake up call,( I am getting old)
and I didn't want my kids to to have to deal with a lot of vintage Green farm equipment.
After trying to sell it to some "collectors" that would not give scrap prices I hauled it to the scrap yard, one load @ a time
They gave me between .08 to .10 a pound, prices were up as China was buying it all.
I sold about #40,000
5 years later I don't miss one piece of it, but do miss the ability to say I have that piece of equipment.
I did sell a 1936 18" one bottom plow, and a 4-14" trailer plow to a guy who does plow days with 2 cyl green tractors.
That makes me happy that they are being used.
Getting old is not what it was promoted to be when I was young.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
