Guess what I bought tonight?
 

This tractor was a local find. Somewhat beat up but may be a parts machine. Pics tomorrow.

That’s a little vague even for the best guessers. Any more hints?

I am the Queen of the Quietlines!....it has a hydraulic lift and headlights. Alvy it is an IH built tractor!

1450??:bigthink:

My guess is that it is a tractor you bought locally that's beat up and might be a parts machine. Maybe a 1450? How did I do?

Nope! Guys I bought a 1250...they are kinda boring but it was close and I was happy with the price.

You are getting warmer...:biggrin2:

Oh, a 1250. Good for you! I keep looking. Nothing but overpriced tractors around me on c-list. And most are junk like the 1650 pic I posted. I just want one with hydraulic lift to put the snow blade on.

Your slacking Beth!
I have bought two QL's in the last month! (Or so....)

A parts machine? Must be rough....

:WWP:

:bigthink: I guess a 1250.:biggrin2: You go girl...:beerchug:

LOL...Yeah...I guess I am slacking some....the John Deere didn't count.

Actually, the tractor has some issues but with some TLC it can be a very nice machine again. It really isn't too bad looking. Bllwnkl is looking for a nice hydro machine with a hydraulic lift... he may want this after I have gone through it.

Nice Beth. It would be interesting to see production numbers on 1250s that rolled off the line with hydraulic lift. Kind of like how many 129s had it too. We see most of the 14s and 16s with them but not so many 12s. Good find Beth.

PS I should have known as I gave you that name and was actually going to guess another 800 :beerchug:

Lol. I guess the Deere counts.

I'm the slacker. I have a bunch of tractors that don't run. Lance comes next week with a trailer load though. Including an engine that will be going in the 982. Hopefully I'll have it up and running soon.

So, you're going to flip this one?

If 1250's could smile, your new acquisition would be grinning from headlight to headlight and very excited to be one of the chosen added to your Cub collection. EVERY QuietLine wants to go to Beth's house, after all you are Queen of the QuietLines ! Congratulations on the new toy!

Am I going to flip this one...I always say Yes I am going to flip it or part it out. The reality, however, is quite different...I start to like like them and decide to keep them. I am going to need a bigger Cub house or keep a psychologist on retainer!

Awwww...thanks. They are all cleaned up and kept warm and dry. :beerchug:

Alvy...I love that nickname....THANK YOU! While 800s are very collectible and desirable to have in a collection, I really don't like them. Engine is too small and it is a gear drive. :beer2:

Lmfao. I always say that too! Then it gets put in the shed with the others. I do get one up and going now and again....but I fell victim again this winter with the 317. Bought it to flip, but kind of like it. I stI'll keep saying I'm going to sell it when I get the engine and remaining items fixed. I actually worked on it today, and made room for it inside. Dammit.... now it's inside. Once they sit in with the others they talk, and start to be friends. You can't ship them down the road after that.

Seriously, you don't like the 800 because it has a small engine and it's gear drive? I like gear drive tractors. My 1050 has become one of my all time favorite tractors. But, I do think it will get a 14hp soon, lol. But I use that tractor pretty heavy in the garden. Believe it or not, that wore out 10 has ran the 2B tiller every year for 3 years now I believe. Pulls the guts out of it. :biggrin2:

My dad was insistent that the 1000 was all the tractor we needed. Period. The 1000 had no creeper or spring assist...so no tilling or blowing snow. I would ride with him to the dealer and see these beautiful tractors Hydros mostly) and just dream. "hey dad what about this..." his reply was always the same "the 1000 is good enough and it's PAID for!" ok. My family always had Jeeps or a truck with snow plows so needing a Cub to move snow was out of the question. As for tilling, dad had friends with tillers or he used one of those damn front tine things.

I bought the 800 a few years back basically to complete my collection, But decided to start selling some stuff and replace it with the tractors I like. I had a 108 w/creeper and my first tiller(geez was that thing heavy even with the spring assist!). The K241 did just fine running the tiller. The tiller is still on the shelf but the 108 was sold decades ago.

Thanks for thinking about me. That's just it, I'm not looking for a show tractor. I use them! And quite frankly, I like the look of these old Cubs just the way they are! (Most of the time!) Really hoping to get to your area sometime just to see this Cub house!

Here is the Saturday night special! :biggrin2:

After I run the news ones for awhile, I park them on cardboard to check for leaks...and to keep for floor clean!

This one does not leak....YAY!

Not too shabby! Congrats!!!:beerchug:

Nice tractor!

It's probably just out of fluid.:biggrin2:

That is a nice looking tractor.

Yikes!!! :NailBite:

Thanks Tim! :biggrin2: Karma is going to put the whammy on you!

Randy...it is not out of fluid...otherwise it would not move or actuate the hydraulic lift.

Thanks, good to know. I almost feel a lot better now! :biggrin2:
