Sad day here

[Cub Cadet 123]

Charles, you've created something over the past 8 years that time cannot erase, and those are the great memories that your son and you will always have. Your cubs and your business, but my suggestion would be that you make them available to your son before anything else. We've been on this site together for several years and have seen many threads about our memories of cubs, what got us started with cubs, etc.......too many times to count, we hear how each of our father's influenced our enthusiasm somehow. Personally, I have traveled miles and searched for many years for my dad's 106 and would trade my most prized items in my collection just to get it, with no success. Although, I got his 123 !!! I think your son would treasure whatever he received from your collection and there may be one in particular that holds special sentimental value for him. I know opinions are just like ***holes, everybody has one, but I had to mention it.

Well, your news isn't what anyone wanted to hear, but I know better than to count you out........after all, you just can't hold a good man down!

I've enjoyed reading your comments and viewing pictures. Those Supers are stunning! I'm curious about how some have the CCC emblem in the front grill, and the Cub Cadet script emblem on the sides of the hood.

Anyway, like all of us fellow enthusiast, we fix them up and pass them on to other folks and those tractors can go on. I've also noticed that you have always had positive things to say, never bashing other member's opinions and beliefs. Thanks!

I'd love to have one of your Diesel's but I'm sure they are way out of my price range. Good luck with your health and the sale of your tractors.

Tim thanks for the compliment and posting the pictures. I hope you have good weather.

You really should keep at least one of them even if it does sit around. They are after all, toys... big boy toys! Good luck and take care!

Thanks for the good wishes. Young mind old body it does suck.

You have some nice tractors and all the memories that goes with them, that part you don't have to get rid of!




Randy

Good luck with your back

Oak thanks for the compliment. I may be back but not this year.

Hope to see you at plow day.

True, Lew I have lots of memories and pictures.

I do have my fathers Farmall Cub that we restored and he will get that but not really attached to the cadets.

John thank you for the kind words. I have never gotten a definitive answer as to whether the supers had CCC emblem on the front. Some say yes some say no but I like them so I put them on all. I do believe all did have the script on the hood.
