He may have one, but Rusty rarely takes a back seat.
Wheel Horse Suburban 401
This one, A 1961 Suburban 401, Is another of my favorites. Behind is a home made wheel barrel dump cart. Soon to be painted red. Sandy has not missed the wheel barrel yet. Picked this one up at the Wheel Horse show in Pennsylvania.

The year that started it all. The first model and year that IH began building the beloved Cub Cadet Garden Tractor. This was our first restoration after I got the tractor bug from Mike.
A 1967 Cub Cadet 102
Another restoration I enjoyed doing. A nice Dozer Blade on this one. Note the rubber seat, Originally white, Only the model 102 got it. A few more pictures to enjoy below.
I wish someone would clean up that shop.

For good looks and performance.
1964 Cub Cadet 100
Yet another project waiting in the wings. This 100 is loaded with options as well as a vary rare Danco RD 1000 Front End Loader. Took a trip to Ottawa in an ice storm to pickup this one.
