My stepson's friend posted a Farmall Cub last year for a friend of his who was not a computer person. It was in excellent shape, came with a lot of attachments and was not far from me. It was priced higher than I would pay, but not too bad. I spoke with the man finally over the winter. He had the young man list it to see what response he would get. He wanted it to go to someone who would use it. It had never been left outside, ever. He was the second owner since 1974. It was a 1959 according to his research. He lived next to the original owner at one point and knew the history of this tractor. We met at the first week of April where he stored it. He starts it once or twice a month. It was all original and in great shape for it's age. It served him as a snow plow tractor and grass cutter. It also has cultivators and a land plow. Some of the miscellaneous items have the labels still on them and most of the items have the wire ID tags still present. The only downer was he stored everything in his houses basement and it was damp. All the accessories that weren't greased or oiled got surface rust. Anyway, I was impressed enough to make an offer. I brought it home in the sunlight Monday.
I used to have one about 10 years older than this one that my father gave me. It was sold when I had to sell their farm. Now I have another one and my collection for my small farm is complete.
It's hard to find one that hasn't been altered, repainted, rusted etc. It now resides in my barn.
