But this is still overall a cheap hobby, especially when you think what a trip to New York city would cost to get "Guido" to smash your hands to look like "the cops did this to you"!!
Yes, on the long trip we did spend the night in a motel....and ate out as well. To me it was worth it to get the tiller I have been looking for...... now if I could only find a snow thrower in good shape within a days drive...LOL!

So I guess I could start a thread "what's the farthest you've ever went for a yard sale"!
I hear you, originally I was going to do my trip in one day, down and back, but decided to take the wife and boy (he will be 7 on Halloween), stayed the night, and drove back the next day. Now the boy wants to know when we can go on vacation to Wichita (little known vacation hot spot) again!

I had went nearly 600 miles round trip for a #1 IH tiller I got from OCC member Ryan. Before that, I had gone about 400 miles round trip to get a duel disc gang from OCC member Wild Bill.

For my first Cub, the 782, i drove only 13 Kilometers, from my Home, to the Home of my Friend.

He worked at the Nato Air Base in Alamogordo NM for 4 Years, (2004-2008), and he purchased the 782 for me in Ebay for 660 Dollar, at 5.October 2008.

Few Days later, he picked up the 782 in Moline Kansas. Map Quest says 735 Miles one Way, but the Farm was a "little" outside of the City.

For my Original, i drove 650 Kilometers one Way, a Friend of mine purchased a Cub Cadet 382, from the same Collector here in Europe, picked it up for me, and we had a Meeting at the half of the Way to the Collector, so i don't need a Hotel, and had a big one Day Trip,

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.
