Plowing in February?
Remember that one of my interests is Model railroading, as I made this IH dealership last winter....http://216.157.93.126/forum/showthread.php?t=37325
Lately I've been working on a farm scene. Since my layout is set in lower Ohio during the summer of 1960, I found a company that manufactures HO scale (1/87th) farm equipment, and one of those was a red farm tractor and plow. My wife bought them for me, and I set to build them. Upon further inspection, the red tractor (that came with the driver) has the linkage for the T/A, and although not specifically stated, it has to be a Super MTA. I added the T/A and PTO lever, and fenders. My wife and I both agreed that the operator needed to have "red bibs" so that's how I painted him. The plow was not as much fun as it looks. The tractor/plow are both made of pewter, and it's great because it bends easy, but it's also extremely fragile because it bends easy. The plow is painted as accurate as I saw in pictures; the wheels are actually IH white since I have a quart of it, and the tail wheel is blue because dad's Little Genius has a blue tail wheel and I like the look of it. The tractor/plow is on a simulated harvested wheat field with actual dirt as ground cover, while the corn grows in a field nearby.          -continued-

Looks real nice, you need to find a little O to go with it.

They were made. I have been looking for one in 1/87th scale. Very difficult to locate I'm afraid.

Always thought model railroading would be a fun hobby, but I just don't have the patience. Your scene looks very legitimate. Excellent work.

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.
