To sell or not to sell... That is the question

[BIGMOZEKE]

If you keep it you will have no regrets.
Find another way to get the new one.........you can do it if you really want to.

Oh......and Welcome to the site and this place is more than just tractor stuff. There are a lot of good sincere members on here who are always willing to help you learn about these awesome manly machines.

The 73 is one I would like to add to my collection. The CC I grew up on went to my brother and he sold it. I wish I never let it go but I was young and didn't know this would become a hobby later in life.

Do memories have a price?

As stated - you'd regret it one day if you sold it.

My parents retired to Wisconsin. Back in the 60's I mowed a lawn for a neighbor of theirs on the weekends. Don't remember the model but it was yellow & a cadet. My Father asked me why I used to use it to cut our lawn? He had a crapsman.

NIK,

edc_1110: If you're lucky, your daughter's SON will treat the tractor just like you did and HIS son will restore it one day.

Also, involving your daughter in the restore would be a good experience. The trick to involving a teenager is letting them determine the level of their participation.

Enjoy and good luck.

The 73 is one of the more rare cubs-as far as production numbers and the last of the narrow frame economy line. It's only worth a couple hundred at most now, but your memories are priceless and by what you wrote, someone else in your family already likes it. I think your question was rhetorical in the sense that you already know the answer to it. There are many things in this world that catch your eye....but only a few that will ever catch your heart, and those are the things worth pursuing!
