Well,
I also collect larger farmall tractors. My other hobby is N scale model railroading. I have a fairly large collection. Now I just need to add on to the house to put a layout back up. I had a layout at the old house, but haven't had the space for the past 5 years. Really need to make a small table to run them. I know my kids would love it.

And reading about wars. I have had the pleasure of working for some very interesting folks,....perhaps I'll tell you more one day!

well i used to build 1/64 scale farm toys but i lost interest. here are a few pics of what i used to build. my new hobby is 3 wheelers. i now own 2 Honda big red 250ES 3 wheelers made in 1985. i also enjoy hunting w/ bow and gun, doing stupid stuff with my friends, racing lawn mowers, making stuff go boom and working with steel. fabricating unnecessary things in my garage to make my life somewhat easier is what i do! haha

NICKVANORMAN,

I have been looking for a project 350x for a couple years now. If you come across one, I sure would appreciate the heads up.

Thanks.

I have a jeep collection of flatfenders..started out with WWII ones, then got into the column shifted civillian CJ2A, then the latest is I am trying to put together a DJ3A Surrey Jeep like Elvis had in the movies.. Here's a couple of my parts jeeps when I picked them up..(Not my shop, I wish it was!)


I also collect old bikes, mainly 60's lightweights, altho I have a foldable bike and a Schwinn tandem too.
Here's one: I also have a couple of Stingrays, but they aren't too practical for me to ride....

My wife says I'm OC (obsessive compulsive) but not D, meaning it's not a disorder....yet.

1) Vintage Cars. I've had my Chevelle for 16+ years and did a frame off restification that took 8 years.


I got this one for a song. Replaced the floor boards, installed a new exhaust and some other minor repairs, drove it for few years, and sold it to guy who made me an offer I couldn't refuse.


2) Bird hunting and bird dogs. I have a German Short Hair that I trained and hunt frequently. She is an awesome pet and hunter. This was her first grouse in 2006.


3) Cooking. I'm an avid BBQ'er. I built an outdoor kitchen on my deck 2 years ago and also a wood fired oven for pizza and bread. I make all my own dough and sauces.



Big Green Egg with pork butts



4) Shooting sporting clays and skeet. Keeps me honest during hunting season.

5) Music & surround sound TV - I built a theater a few years ago.


equipment stack I built into the wall


2 channel system and center speakerstand I built from oak


6) Woodworking - I like craftsman style furniture and have made a few pieces for my home.

7) Mountain biking - my wife and I go at least once a weekend when the weather is nice. The kids come most of the time and we go on a short trip twice year.


This is the prize view about 8 miles from the parking area.


I'm sure there's more, but these are the main ones.

You know what...... I lead a BORING LIFE compared to you guys!

Used to collect 1/64th scale farm equipment (all packed in a box from when I move into our house back in 2004)

Used to snowmobile.....sold my sled 4 years ago at Christmas (frustrated with lack of snow and guy made an offer I couldn't refuse - his kids got a heck of nice Christmas present)

Used to ATV..... A LOT! (Just too busy with things anymore, even helped start the ATV club around here and get the trails going)

Build furniture when I have time (furniture maker by trade)....trying to keep my part time business going and progressing to full time - Yeah, sure - like that will happen anytime soon!

Work on our house, finishing the basement (bought it with an unfinished basement). I should have everything finished by the time I am ready to retire at the age of oh....70!

Enjoy gardening and landscaping.....makes it much more enjoyable to sit on the back deck and have a in the summer and look around at all the hard work.

Spend a lot more time doing training on the Fire Department.....This April will be my 14th year on the department.

Would love to get back into farming again....grew up doing that and loved every minute of it. Miss driving combines all summer and fall. Just something about sitting on a tractor for hours on end, working in the field and no one bugging you. You do something like that day in and day out - you can't beat it! Put yourself in an office enviroment with phones ringing and constant run of people :rant: :rant: It certainly gets to you. Gives you the feeling that you would just love to become a hermit! Then you realize you might have to do without your Cub if you did something that drastic. What to do!

Love to cook.....was fortunate that the wife and kids bought me a kick a$$ BBQ 5 years ago for Christmas. I'd use it every day if I could!

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.
