Jude,
I was told the white ones were on a farmall cubs.I have one of them.There is a slight difference in the way the tabs for the lens are attached.I guess when it was installed that is all they had on the shelf.

I can't get this picture out of my mind after reading this. The PO looking for years and years for his set of tire chains and log chains saying "I know I had a set, now what the h..l did I do with them.

Great looking tractor.

Thanks Zippy! We'll see how many 72's I come across. This is the first one I've seen in the NE. I drove 7 hours roundtrip to get it and know what ya mean about getting a new tractor. I love looking in the rear view mirror and seeing a cub, especially when it has headlights!! The grote on my 71 was a green yellow color and looked like original paint.

Thanks Lew, was curious about that

Shaner, I sold the 147 to a guy up here who has a 127 and the 124 got dismantled for parts and some of it was scrapped cause it was it such bad shape. The front tires/rims on my 71 are from the 124 Thanks for the compliments!

cub149, lol, I was thinking the same thing! You couldn't see them at all really. The log chain was wrapped around the seat spring a little bit, but besides that the rest was hidden. I thrashed 2 sets of chains last winter cubbin, so its nice to have another good set around. Thanks bud!

Here's a few pics of the 72, one of me in action, one of the tractor sitting on the fresh cut lawn that it just did, and a couple pics of it with the 71.

The 71 and 72 look great together Jude!

It's amazing! You actually have grass under all that white stuff. Who knew?
I love that picture of the two from behind, would make a great picture of the week.

Those "Pop Drops" are punchings from plate steel from a large punch press. They punch the steel holes instead of drilling them or burning them. Usually used when a large number of holes in a specific pattern are needed.

Thanks Mike! Will get the 73 out for a lineup soon.

We're not called the green mountain state for nothing thanks again cub149!

Sounds good Jason!

Thanks jo1429!! Was wandering what they were.

Nice IH Cub Cadet model 72! What was the build date on this one? On my 72, the serial# is 239718, which was made in march or april of 1968. The 71 serial#184004 was made in jan. of 1967. Nice line up for sure! Thanks for the pictures!
