So this past halloween I took my "O" and the #2 cart and filled the cart full of candy and drove it all over out neighborhood so we could hand out candy. I even dressed up in my bib-overalls and IH gear to do it. I figured that my son (now 10) had been trick-or-treating from them for so many years it was time to give some candy back. I had at least a half a dozen people came up to me and say that their dad or grandpa used to have a tractor like that, I spent more time talking and letting kids sit on it and get picture's taken with it then driving. I guess in all I went about 4 miles. It sure put a smile on my face to see those kids looking at that tractor, make's all the work worth while. I had a guy come over to me and asked about the tractor, his grandpa had one and that's the tractor that he had learned to mow on. He started to tear up when he talked about his grandfather and the tactor. He said that I had made his day. I told him where I lived and he could come by anytime and mow my grass, he thought that was pretty funny. Here's a picture of it I took before I left, my wife took picture's of me driving it that day but they were erased somehow before I downloaded them to the computer. Anyway great stories and cool thread.:biggrin2.gif:
Great story Eric...thats what its all about..memories, and having a great time

:biggrin2.gif: It would have been even better if you had brought a #1 cart along with ya and threw your neighbour in the cart to take him home! That would have been a classic!

That never even crossed my mind Mike...lol. Imagine that.... a Cub, towing a JD, with a IH trailer in tow at the end...

It would look like one of those Australian road trains...

i a few times had to drive full size tractors from a dealer in Escanaba MI to our farm in Marquette MI, about 60 miles. I remember one time it was only 10 degrees out. I had 3 ski masks on ,snowmobile suit and boots. I would stop about every ten miles and warm my face and hands next to the motor and get going again. I was 14 at the time and thought it was great. I forgot all about that, until this thread. thanks for the memories reminder

Along the same lines, maybe 20 or so years ago I bought a Massy 510 combine @ an auction.
I drove it 43 miles home, with a 16' wide grain head,---- @ 12 MPH max speed.
Long ride, but uneventful thank goodness.
Another time, my son & I drove from Michigan to Boston, to pick up a vintage motorcycle, thank goodness it was @ highway speeds.

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.
