YEE HAW!! The Mother Load has landed!!!
 

OK, still in shock here. Thanks to Duke, I've just acquired a collection of cubs and NOS parts:biggrin2:. BIGTIME Thanks:High5:. I'll start with the O's. There are 4 of those, one of them has a rebuilt k161(all new parts), lights and rear pto. A 71 with a NOS K161. A 72, the only NF without fenders:biggrin2:. A LOADED 73 with totally rebuilt engine. 4 100's and they all run, 3 of them have fenders, lights and weights. All the seat pans are uncracked too. Oh ya, there's a Wheel Horse & Ford in there too. There is a bevy of NOS parts and other various parts. Dual wheel spacers, IH weight box, IH rear blade and decks, brinly's and cultivator, Oh I can't wait to get to N.C.:buttrock:

Some more pics!!
 

Could only attach 2 pics to 1st post?

Jude I'm so happy I could help broker the deal the sent your collection thru the roof! This man's collection is prefect fit for your taste and collection. The sad part is I've yet to scratch the surface in all he err you have in parts with a good bit of NOS mixed in. He was telling me about stuff he's never told me about before. I can't wait to start going thru it and sending you pics of all your parts.

Your going to have to get up an hour earlier every day to figure out how which NF your going to ride that day.

I guess it's safe to say the April trip to NC has been delayed for now. Got that plane seat booked yet?

CONGRATS! and I'm so happy I could make both sides very happy with the deal!

:Shocked::drool2: WHAT A HAUL!!!!!

That one seat with the back looks like one we had on a springfield:bigthink:

lol. Getting up an hour early? Who said anything about sleeping:beer2: I can't wait to see what other goodies are there too:IH Trusted Hand:

Don't have the plane seat booked yet, but priced out 24' uhual, little over $800!

If you run out of room in that u-haul ill be glad to take one of those originals off your hands :biggrin2:

Congrats, Jude. Where are you headed to get them? If you buy me a plane ticket I'll meet you their and help with the loading and driving!! You can just drop me off on the way by, hehehe. Although if you do that I might accidently knock a few things out of the truck in my yard, and keep them here, lol. Can't wait for more picture's. :beerchug:

You're one lucky fella, Jude! Congrats, you deserve it, my friend! :ThumbsUp:

You DOG!! There went the last cub cadet.:bigthink: Seems like you have them all now. Hope your happy with yourself, what's the rest of going to do? Go green? Happy for you, enjoy your new toys, you are a lucky man:beerchug:

cubcadet100; well, MD will be on my way back to VT:bigthink:. Maybe we could get together...

Eric; I'm heading down to Duke's to get the goods. The gentleman lives close to Duke. I like the idea of ya comin down and help, but you're too far west for my trip home:biggrin2:

Allen; Thanks buddy:beer2:

zippy1; LOL, thanks!! I'm quite happy with myself at the moment:HeeHee:
Don't worry, Several of the "new cubs" will find new homes after I restore them. Seriously, does one really need 7 O's:bigthink:

Jude, You might want to look into renting a 3/4 ton truck and a 24' uhaul trailer. Might save you a couple bucks on rental and save a little on the fuel. Just a thought. Which way are you going home up the east cost? I like those tri ribs!!!!

Thanks Eric, never thought of pickup and trailer. I'll look into it. Ya, I'll be sticking to the east coast, I-95 almost the whole way. Ya, 2 sets of tri's and a few set's of tubes. I like the tri's alot too!!

Nice score Jude!!!
Congrats on your haul!!!!

Man, If I were you I would run I-77 to 81 and run it north to at least I-80 in PA. That way you can avoid D.C. and Baltimore. Richmond isn't bad but that D.C. is the worst city in America to drive through, or anywhere within 50 miles of it. Baltimore can be just as bad. Philly can be really bad to. And of course I don't need to tell you about NY. You could always stay on 81 to 88 and run up that way. Just a thought. I have spent more hours sitting in D.C. than I can remember, LOL. Those must be the Goodyear tri's that Duke told me about. I'm so stoked for you, glad they didn't fall pray to the wrong hands, if you know what I mean.:beer2:

Those would be them!

too funny. Guess you can't fit all that stuff in your element!
I'm at exit 74, about 20 miles north of baltimore. Give me a shout and let me see all those things live and up close! PM me and I'll give you my cell, I work just ten mintues from I95
Carl

Wow, that is an awesome score, sounds like you'll have enough equipment to keep you busy for at least another month or so, once you get it home :biggrin2: When you come down to pick them up, you might as well swing by Atlanta and let me take an O off your hands...I'm just trying to help you save on gas for your trip home :beerchug:

Congrats on the score, can't wait to see you post the pics and vids of everything!

Jude,
Nice score!!
Who say's that you don't need 7 originals ?
Oh by the way I am 10 min off exit 1in NY On I 84.heheheheh

Funny Carl:biggrin2: I'll pm ya here in a few...

pulse301: You're more than welcome to come up to NC when I come down, you can go cubbing with us and I know there are some more O's that need a good home!!

Lew: I guess you're right, who's to say I don't NEED that many:bigthink:. Don't think I have your :callyou:#. pm it to me and I'll give ya a call.

jeez i just got lost in all the pics lol... congrats

Hey Jude,
Let us know when you start a real collection . . .

Another expense besides the rentals tho . . . you need to invest in a backup camera so as not to run any risk of denying us more pics.

Seriously, congrats man - that's one outstanding score!!

Duke - good on ya for making it happen!

Thanks Nick! There will plenty more pics to come. I'll post them as they come to me from Duke, will be a few months before I get down there to pick up the load! No worries hilltop! Got a new digi cam and if I break/loose it, i've got my phone:biggrin2: Thanks a bunch, to Duke too:beerchug:

A real collection hehe that's very funny!

Glad I was able to hook you up Jude! I've got a feeling that I'm going to be enjoying going thru everything just to see what you've got.:biggrin2: I'm really excited to see what hidden gems he hasn't told me about yet. There's no way he could remember everything he has.:bigthink:

SUH WEEEEEET NAB Jude!!!! when they pourin the new slab for the new warehouse????? looks like a great start to saving the last of the "O"s (en masse) hope the trip goes well.

First thing that popped into my mind...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbagger

Thanks, lol, they'll be pouring the slab as soon as I hit Powerball:biggrin2:. I'm hoping to make all 4 O's working tractors again.

Seriously, Jude...

Awesome find for you. Does Duke get "pick of the litter" for his efforts??!! :biggrin2:

I plan on running over to NC in the Spring. I will help Duke sort through all of the Cubs and parts and make sure to cull out anything that I don't think that YOU will need! It's all for the greater good... I just would not want you to overload your trailer... Trust me...

HAHAHA, lol, good one Steve:beer2: Funny thing is, the more hooked I get on IH the more I wished I lived down south! Would be so nice to work in 40+ degree weather:bigthink:

Nice score Jude!! Forget the truck and trailer, better rent a tractor trailer and lowboy:biggrin2:. I'm guessing ya like the 7 horse round fender types:ThumbsUp:. Now that you have the pick of the litter, are you going to put that loader on something different, or still the 73? :Bowdown2:

No truck & trailer, I priced that out and would be a good bit more $$ than just getting a 24' box truck. Penske quoted me $650, which is almost $200 cheaper than Uhaul. Ya, kinda have a thing for the round fendered cubs:biggrin2: The 73 is the new proud recipient of the RD1000, was going on the 71, but the 73 is even more rare. Thanks:beerchug:

:ROTF2:

Who said I was sharing or umm I mean needing help sorting thru all the parts!:biggrin2:

Don't forget about the dual wheels and the weight box on that 73 plus the RD-1000! Picture this 73 with a fully restored RD-1000 loader on it.:drool2:

I'll try and get the serial numbers for Jude and you. Jude's wanting to see the serial numbers on the O's as well.

I'm still wanting to have a NC cub run still. The first run will be without Jude tho, and we can't go vist those cubs but I've got some more honey holes hidden. Still working on trying to find a 82 honey hole but a couple of phone calls maybe I can round something up.:biggrin2:

My toe nails are still hard from seeing your 149 with that sweet cab!

Jude , Looks like a awesome collection of cubs and parts . Looks like you are going to need a few more cases of Cat Yellow from Restockit !
Good luck , with all your new cubs.

LOL, Thanks Jim!! Hopefully will be getting a compressor and paint gun so I can give them a "correct" restore.

Thanks Kevin, what a groupo!! Couldn't be more perfect for my tastes too:beerchug:

Lucky!! Great find. I love the 73 a older man up my road has a 73 and he is the orginal owner i would love to buy it! Can't wait for a vid on them.

So when are you starting on that new 60x60 garage to put all the toys? LOL Congrats on a once in a lifetime purchase...

Thanks guys!! The 73 is a favorite of mine too:beerchug: Couldn't have hoped for a better 73 than the one I just got:biggrin2:. Will have to figure out some storage?? I do have a storage place about 200 yards up the road from me, may have to rent a storage unit to keep them out of the elements. We get a good bit of rain here in the summer.

You're going to need the space they way he's talking just for the tractors. I had to break the news to Jude that he forgot about everything that he has at his moms house that comes with this deal! I'll let Jude spill the beans on the info I gave him. I'm think 3-4 truck loads of parts only maybe more. I'll get a handle on the size of it the next time go over to his place in a couple of weeks to get my secret replacement loader.:biggrin2: Once the loader is loaded I'll start filling up the bed of my truck and start processing Jude's parts. I've called friends of mine and got room in their 4 car garage to store Jude's parts. The best thing is they don't collect cubs.:biggrin2:
