don't know if I can sweet talk the wife or not.... I still got that '49 FA Cub that needs some work, but I'd love the 147.

That's the plan, just figured I'd mention it to the guys that are into the real CC's. Haven't even unloaded them off the trailer yet. Trying to get the floor ready to pour concrete in what will be the "CubMahal"

Gary, you've got the most supportive cub wife ever!

That's my problem, I hate to see a parts tractor get parted out let alone a good running complete tractor. There are several guys on ebay that must make a killing on parting out fine good running tractors, and never loose a nights sleep over it. I try not to buy from those folks.

Just my 2 cents, if a tractor still runs and has more life left in it I like to keep them going but when they need more than it's worth unless they are very rare well then it makes sense to part them and keep others going. The guys that do it for a living provide us with a source of otherwise unavailable parts and for that we should be thankful. I doubt that most people think about how hard they work or about how much money they have tied up in inventory.

You got a good point. I basically was refering to the ones who take a beautiful healthy good running tractor and part it out for no other reason but to make more money! Me personally I would rather loose a few bucks and sell it to someone who would use it then to make more and part it out. There are still a few of these old tractors left but everyday there is less and less of them. One day a common 782 will be rare!
