Smile The “Plow Dog”

Good morning Guys!

I am a member of several GT related forums out there. One of my buddies suggested that I Join here. He said that you are a great group of guys and would be a good fit. I likely know many of you anyway. I like most Garden tractors but IH Cub’s are my favorite. It was a 1772 that brought me the yellow and white fever about 7 years ago and I haven’t looked back since. I buy and sell some to help aid my craving for this hobby but I usually have at least 6 or so in my shed at any given time plus a few other brand tractors including Wheel Horse, Case, etc. I enjoy using my cubs for a variety of tasks but my all time favorite past time is furrow (field) plowing! Nothing like hooking a Brinly 10 or 12” behind one of these mini tractors and making them work for their “keep”!

I’m looking forward to being part of the community here. I’m a busy guy as a residential building contractor, a youth pastor at our local church, and a father of four children (ranging in age from 4-13). My oldest has become a “plow dog” himself and owns a 125 that we will begin restoring next summer and a highly modified 127 with Briggs V-twin for plowing. My second son owns a Cub 100 that we call “the Mule”. It has been at multiple PD’s across the Midwest already and is a great little tractor.

I consider myself a forum drifter as opposed to a lurker. I’ll be active for awhile and then I get really busy with life and drift away to focus on those things. Then when life stabilizes, I drift back. I know that doesn’t make for the best member but at least I’m honest about it...

Besides these little tractors, I enjoy competitive cowboy Action shooting and old cars. Mostly I enjoy spending time with my lovely wife and children. Again, I’m glad to be part of the community.

Thanks guys! I have lots of pics. I’ll try to post some here soon. Any help/ advice with posting them would be appreciated. Some forums greatly limit the size while others can receive full size uploads directly from my smart phone...

Welcome Jack!!

You will find a lot of good guys here!!

I hope your son's stick with the hobby... I started with my Dad some 40 years ago.... kinda lost interest in my later teenage years.. but the bug didn't stay away..

My now 16 year old step son lost the bug a few years ago... I hope to get him back into cubs one day!

You are correct... nothing like turning up some dirt!!

Thanks for the info. I’m still having trouble logging in from my computer which will make it harder to post pics until I can. Rest assured, once I have the technology bugs worked out then I’ll be posting some pics from my rather large collection. I inherited that gene from my mom. She always likes to document things with pictures.

My wife was born and raised in GB about 3 blocks from Lambeau Field. Now we live in the heart of the Fox Valley, about 15 miles west of Oshkosh. Thanks for the warm welcome...

I’m not sure how long they will be interested in this hobby but I do know that we can make some really cool “tangible” memories by restoring a tractor together and using that tractor in their childhood and formative years. Someday, as adults, I hope they can look at their tractor that we used and restored together and those memories will come flooding back. I understand, having been a youth pastor for about 7 years and having worked with youth for over two decades, that when they get into their late teens, lots of things in life distract them. I’m a patient person, and I look forward to navigating those things and not forcing them in the hobby but rather continuing in it myself. Maybe in that, they will want to do so themselves. If not, I love them the same, and we still have the memories from their childhood.

If you want your step son to get into it, tell him you’ll get him a Cub! Show him the different models and let him pick one. Then set a price and whether you want a fixer upper or a runner or a finished machine. Then the hunt begins. That can be fun. If a person is patient and has the money set aside, you can find almost any cub model over time. At least in the midwest anyway! Good luck...

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.
