[Jay Ince]

Thank you, My Cub stable does stand humbled compared to so many of the awesome tractors you and so many other members here have... My 102 was bought new by my grandfather, Grover Ince, and it was a thing of great pride to him. I am 46 now, and every time I turn the key and feel it rumble to life I feel like the happy kid I was, sitting in his lap and steering, so long ago. I have considered stripping and restoring it, but... the wear of time it shows is sort of a special thing to me, you know? My Z-54 is a fine mowing machine, but has nothing of the soul of the old thumper. Nice to know others understand the simple beauty of the old Cubs....
