Looks like a nice summer project, so it has not been used since you built the barn?

They were both great summer projects!

According to Ed, he used to mow the bottom field with it until he realized it was less work to just use the riding lawn mower but that was a long time ago. He did say that he let the neighbor use it a couple of years ago to pull the one bottom plow around the garden but that story has changed a bit. Ed's got a few years on him now.

Not that you need any validation mister Ton but damn you’re quite talented. Apparently you were almost 50 as well and made that happen. That’s a lot of work even for a young man and those beams are pretty thick. Always liked the way that some construction is done in the north east. Looks old even though it’s rather new. My brother is a restoration architect up there and has projects that turn out looking that way. (Funny that he just built a garage a couple years ago to match his 1920 house and has some of the very same dimensions on the slab, 2 foot cement perimeter and 6 inch base. That might be a thing because of frost? Anyway, looks Very Massachusetts-ee if that’s a word. I know it’s not but you get the idea. Now a days the trend is using reclaimed wood to make such buildings which I’m also a fan of

Good luck with the ford. Cool little diesel that looks like it will run again soon, and cool story too!

Thank you Mr Alvy for the kind words. I have had the pleasure of working on many interesting projects over the years with the support of great customers. I have been blessed in that and many other ways in my life.

I think that I must have contributed to a false sense of how old I am and I think it may be based on this thread in "Jokes and Humor";

I am the kid in the center of the right hand picture in post 2. The older gentleman with the hard hat is a neighbor that came over to help on the day of the barn raising, old Fred,..may he rest in peace.

By the way, looks like I’ll be in your neck of the woods early Monday morning. I’m flying into Tampa early to jump in a car and run it back up the east coast.

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.
