70 Purchased

[Brad McGowan]

Thanks to a gentle prod by one of the members. I found the 70 in Western Illinois it starts right up and runs, it will be after snow plow season before I get it picked up. I recd. the fenders in yesterdays mail, a little straightening and they will be good as new.

Once you get it home you'll have to recreate that picture of you guys sitting on it just like you were in the picture of you guys back in the day on your family's 70!

I wish I could, my brother passed away 5 years ago this month. I will sit on that fender and know that he is right there behind me.

Congratulations on finding a 70!

Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost my youngest brother in 2003. Here's a photo from around 1975 I'm the oldest one, the youngest one is in my lap and the middle brother is on my sister's bike. Not sure where our two older sisters were that day? I still have this Cub Cadet, it's a 125, but it's all apart waiting for me to finish refurbishing it. Because I know someone will ask, that's a Farmall C in the background and yes, it is still around, one of my cousins owns it now.

Thank you! Nice pictures sad memories. My older brother lived on borrowed time for a lot of years he would have loved my Cub Cadet project. Like him it is the past that holds my interests if its old I like it.
