I want a red one.
IHinIN has a beautiful machine, I've stumbled across his build thread, and fallen in love with both his machine and another that inspired it.
When I was growing up I worked on a local farm, and on that farm we had a 656, a.k.a. "The Hydro." While The Hydro was certainly not the most desirable tractor on the farm, it certainly got the job done and it brings back an a lot of memories. I can't remember how many miles I've gone sitting up on those hood high fenders, riding out to go pick a wagon of something after school. I'm not in the country anymore, and I'm turning into one of those goofy urban farmers you hear about, with a big crazy operation on a 1/2 acre lot in one of the smallest cities in Pennsylvania. I met my girlfriend while fighting city hall to let her keep her chickens. We've been together for almost 3 years and decided to put in a tractor patch, so I bought a 127 on eBay for $30 and joined this forum, figuring I'd get it running and use it as a cultivator. I think I've got a problem now, because I'm up 8 tractors, 4 of which are cubs and none of which currently cut grass. Thanks guys. So back to the point in hand. I've got a 149 and a 127, both Hydros, both have clean fenders. I also have a 106, and the fenders are pretty beat. I've got at least one bad spindle, if not 2, among the 3 tractors. I grow corn in my garden, and if I'm going to have a cub for every attachment, a high crop cub would be a great cultivator. I'll likely be tearing them all down and refurbishing them eventually, and I don't always follow the manual, so when I'm done, there's probably going to be at least one genuine Johnny Cash tractor. It should absolutely be a 656 Hydro clone with homemade hood high fenders and floorboards, and the tallest, skinniest ag treads I can fit under them. This bug sure bites hard. It's gonna take me a while to get around to this one im sure, MAYBE next winter, so don't get excited. Anyone know more about the fenders on the tractor in the attached pic? How about tire sizes, or other high crop builds? Post pics, link threads and videos, comment and tell me I'm crazy. Either way, thanks in advance, I really do appreciate it.

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.
