Interesting IH plant Cub turned up yesterday there.
Story is it came from the IH plant at Moline, IL and it looks like it led a hard factory life as a tool/torch service unit.
Note the safety hood mod, same as my 1250 and 3 others I have seen before.
Of note also is the VERY HD front bumper and if you look in your "50 Years of Cub Cadet" by Oscar Will, on page 28 you will see a factory shot of an 82 series Tug Cub with the exact same bumper..

We had a larger turnout than 2 years ago but the green machines were the bulk of the lot. Only 4 other cubs besides my 8 and I was sure to look and make sure none of that green rubbed of on my stuff before loading back up even though most of them were on the other side of the field!!
More pictures to follow if anyone is interested

Here's a modified A/C with a Gannon box blade.
Note the engine install.
Owner said it lined up perfect with the rest of the drive train and needed only a spacer on the end of the d/shaft.

Here's the 4 other Cubs that were there.
PLus a few more pic's
This event has the possibility to really blossom what with the Farm Toy Show and museum. Directly across the street is a large antique mall as well that is also open.
I did not go back today as I had other plans.
