All he has ever done is play video games.

Youngsters today only want to mow and go.
Sadly, a lot of highly educated inga-neers lack mechanical ability.
although they can give, or look up, the mechanica/physicall properties of a bolt, they were never taught which way to turn it.
Recently, Detroit has been requiring building contractors to hire Detroit residents on construction jobs.
They are finding it impossible to find skilled trades persons in the city of Detroit
for these projects.
The schools just don't teach industrial arts as they did in the '50-'60's
Sorry,
There I go again, off topic

Just my 2 cents, I think if your into this hobby to make money you picked the wrong hobby. Now I only save an Old Cub if I have a use for it. Still cheaper than buying a new one and I have fun doing it.

I'm not in the hobby to make money as I have said the fun for me was in the collection, fixing and getting the hard to find parts. Now that they are fixed collected and have pretty much all the good stuff on them. What do I do now Just sit and look at them? I will not use them due to their condition. If they are appreciating then it makes sense if not then I am taking up space and money for nothing more then just keeping them. I really am not emotionally attached. I have my fathers Farmall Cub that I grew up on with him using it. I restored it will never use it but I will never sell it for any price. I do enjoy having them but like I said now that they are done I really don't do much with them anymore except one trip to plow day every year. Problem is if I am going to sell nobody will pay what I think they are worth to use them for work maybe a collector that can appreciate the condition would pay more.

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.
