Good luck Jonathon. I ran municipal street, water, and sewer departments. When the fleet manager retired the 120 vehicle fleet and 3 mechanics fell to me also. Some long days in the winter. Retired in 2012 and seem busier now.

Cut Lawns from 10 to 16 yrs old
Then did light mechanical in a full service filling station while in high school for $.95 an hour for 3 years.(42 hr a week) 2 days after graduating H.S. went to Ford @ $2.16 (Fantastic wages in them days) They sent me to college for 4 years learning skilled trades. I gave it all up as a lost cause after 40 years on midnight's fixing everything you can imagine that they broke on the day/afternoon shifts. Also small farmed for 30 of those years,as well as did light vehicle/motorcycle repair, when I wasn't working 12 hours/7 days The last 11 years just enjoying spending what I saved and getting my Gubber-mint social security money back and hobby farming Looks like so little when you put it in writing. Kind of like these last 11 years the best, but I miss my youth. |

Thanks guys.
George, the guys from your generation are to be admired. I spent 13 short (seems like longer) years running my shop and am kind of happy about the change. Don't know how some people spend 40 years in the same place. I couldn't do it. |

Good luck with the new job Jon.
I worked for a job shop type machine shop for 10ys and thought why am I making money for someone else ? Started my own shop and work twice as hard. I hate collecting the money, I give companys 30 days and most use up all thirty some stretch to 60 plus. They think I'm a bank I guess.

Propane for the past 11 years. Business is booming right now and they keep giving me a paycheck every week, I guess I'll stay.

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.
