Default Getting ready for a few local shows.
I have several shows in August around my area. So today I thought I'd get the toys out and get them all cleaned up and ready to go. I have four tractors but one is not ready yet. They aren't really show quality because I use them as much as I can around the house. We just like going to see other stuff mostly. There is one show close by my house that I'm really wanting to go to. I will stay over night there in our old travel trailer. So I guess I'll need to make a two trips to get everything there. Good thing it's only a few miles away. Then there is two more close by. My brother and I will to those. He has several tractors also. August is a busy month for us.

Thanks guys...

Diz Jr,
The red tractor in the back is my 1963 Wheel Horse 953. It was the first year for a factory stock hydraulic lift. You could have hydraulic lift on others back then but it was put on from the dealer (that's my understanding). It also has the rear inside wheel weights that are pretty hard to find. Also, it has a S/N of 462 and an early steering box that was only used in the first six months of production.

The green tractor is my "orphan tractor", Roth Country Boy. I think it was built in 1956, locally here in Michigan. It came with a 6 volt - 8hp Kohler engine that has aluminum tins opposed to steel tins. That tractor was built using what the factory could find to build tractors. Mine came with a auto steering box and 3-speed tranny. It also has an odd rearend. The neat thing is, there will be a local show this coming month and there are several Roth tractors and Roth 2-wheel walk behinds that will try to be there. This will be the first time we have tried to get together. That should make for some nice pictures. Hopefully I can learn more about my little orphan tractor. :biggrin2.gif:

Where did you get the center hubcaps on the 782? I like them alot.

782's were meant to be red, and so mine will be, someday....

Nice collection.

I had them kickin around for sometime. They are just a 6" cap I got in a swap meet somewhere. I wish it were a 782 but I still like it. Mines a 1282 and it's done everything I need to do so far.

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.
