One thing that I have come to appreciate about this forum is that you guys (and gals?) tell it like it is. It is either "stay away" or "be sure to look for X and X." That is a big help, especially since there may be other forums where 100 percent of the posters would just say, "get it at any cost." Instead of typing out 18 or so usernames, I will just say thanks to all of you for what you've written so far. I am grateful.
I guess I have a soft spot for the forgotten and neglected — the aforementioned Land Rover that I restored had one rusted-out frame boxed around another really rusted out frame, to go along with 296,000 miles, but a year later it had a new frame and I drove it to an all-British car show — and so having driven past this particular Cub for a few years, it's grown on me. It already is a step ahead of everyone else because it's an International Harvester. I still plan to have my friend look at it, and if it seems like something worth saving, maybe I'll offer $175 or $200 instead.
But if not ... if any of you have a comparable IH CC with the Peco vacuum (I really would like to have that implement), keep me in mind. In the meantime, I'll update this thread when there is more to share.
Thanks!
Brian
