Thanks for pic of the week and all the great comments! I found the digger attachment up in VT in a barn. It had been on a 147 when the owner removed it. The tractor belonged to a fencing outfit originally. I bought only the digger and assembled a 147 over a couple years finding NOS parts. Danuser made the digger in the early 70's, and late 60's. I spoke with Jerry Danuser the owner of the company and he helped with sending stickers and original blue print copies and books on it. I have used it and it actually works awesome. Hydraulic up and gravity down. The front weight box is part of the unit sold by danuser. I have since found another on a 147 and use that one, sold the one in the picture to a buddy who keeps it in his collection. I have two augers for the one I have now, my neighbors use it more than I do!Take care, Eric

EXTREME DROLL BUCKET ALERT!!!...SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! A+ on the restoration. Attention to detail and correctness is second to none!

It has been to a few shows, it now sits in Maine in a garage with a mess of other restored Cub Cadets. The one I kept is pretty much original and unrestored so far. I go to the eliott maine show, Dubin, NH sometimes. There is a great "Tractor Day" mostly all cub cadets but others welcome in Salem NH usually in October. A good friend of mine puts it on. Thanks again for the nice comments. Eric

Wow!! Am I glad that i explored THIS PICTURE OF THE WEEK. I don't always get a chance to check them out, so I'm glad that I found this one! AWESOME post hole digger. I've seen them in brochures before, but didn't know that they were still around.............and I certainly could use one this year to put up my fence!!! Congrats on certainly an original picture of the week!!!
