Default Picture from the past

Looking through my new Red Power magazine there was an article with this picture attached. It's of my grandfather looking at the new Farmall Super C tractor.
I'm figuring it's from the early 50's. He bought all his tractors from the dealership here in Gillett. Back then it was known as Dickinson-Rasmussen Implement. Before my time, but I remember when it was Gillett Implement.
Long gone now, grandpa, dealership and tractor... All that's left is memories.

That's awesome Todd. I see it as a sign. There's a certain third generation Zippel that should be show cased as well with his Original.

Nice! I'm wondering if some of your Cadets may have came from there? Was it just by chance the picture is in the magazine or did someone in your family submit it? Either way that's cool!

I bet the number of older IH dealers with that style of IH approved building is almost non-existent now. The one my dad worked for turned into a distribution point for Merita bread products. The showroom/parts counter is used for retail space, the tractor and truck shops are for storing bread. I didn't think it was possible to get all that Hy-tran odor out of the building!

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.
