Rodney,
This is the tractor on the left, S/N 409. I bought it in the hills of east Tennessee in 2003 from the original owner's (Frank Majer)son (Ken Majer). It originally was assigned the Engineering Center tag number of QFE-1911 with rotary mower tag number of QFE-2594. The 409 S/N was stamped into the gear reduction housing when it was sold to Mr. Majer and the "Q" tag removed. I refurbished it to the condition shown in a 1964 photo I received with the tractor. It is now owned by Tim Delooza and lives in New York state.
This is the tractor on the right, S/N 510, and one of 25 test tractors. I found it in a barn on a farm owned by a Lexington, KY Cub Cadet dealer also in the 2003 time frame. It had been brought to the dealer 10-12 years earlier by a former IH employee to have the engine rebuilt, and after the engine was torn down and the man quoted a price for the repairs, he traded it in on a new Cub Cadet. The dealer took it the "the farm" and parked it in the barn with several other older model Cub Cadets. It now lives in Massachusetts.

Paul,
Thank you so much!
Is it okay to print off a copy of each?
Is the history written down anywhere about these?
A 50 yr book would be nice about all of these,and
the known history of each.
I have HANKS 45yr book.A calender would be nice also of 12 low serial # CCO'S.
These two would really be 1960's?
THANKS AGAIN,
Rod Smith

Snow chains and tires. Ok putting on chains for the coming snow, as much as I want AGs on my cub it would seem turf tires would work best with chains????
All,
Thanks for input on chains on ag tires. I had not thought about the chains leaving an impression on the tires. I will go ahead and swap either 8.50 or 10.50 turfs with chains, and may go ahead and put my factory rear box on the 104 as well. It is time to retire the 122 for awhile for the clutch replacement and the engine is getting tired anyway.
I also have a wind breaker style cab that will fit the 104, but did not work on the 122. I am missing the doors, but it is nice to have a "roof" for wet snows.

Turf tires with chains out preform ags with chains 10 to one!
Makes no difference if your running in dirt or snow!
