HR,

I never owned a true Piper Cub, but I enjoyed trading rides with others who did. The closest I ever came was a partnership Vagabond Cub... A PA-15. It had an interesting "N" number: N4321H.

Donny,

Wasn't Delta's original fleet PT-17 Stearmans? Just a guess. :lol: Could have been Waco UPF's.

George,

Having flown more than 3 million miles on Delta as a pasenger, I only know that they started out in Monroe with a crop dusting business which progressed into what it is now...lousy.

Just my opinion.

No, I believe it was the "Huff-Daland Duster", as it was called. Didn't really look too much like a Stearman. Not sure the Stearman was around in the '20's. Started carrying mail, east and west to Dallas and Atlanta, when they were not spraying cotton.

Mike,

I agree that the term "Restored" is a greatly abused term; but, I think to your average tractor enthusiast it means 'Runs and looks good". I know that there are several different levels of restoration. That's why I don't see any problem with adding some personality to a project. Maybe we should say" Custom Restoration" for our less than perfect grade 1 work.

To me, TimT's Cub is "restored". I am sure it runs good and I know it looks good. And the hell with the correct police.

Well I am redoing My Cub and dont claim to call it a restored machine. SO, when people ask me if it is restored I will say "Nope", Its a re-did`ud-up one.

HR`s Cub must be a low-boy sportin yellow colors, :mrgreen:
Then came Bronson

I have seen very few tractors that I actually considered restored (I agree with Jim's definition). I see a lot of rebuilt ones, rehabbed ones, refurbished ones (hopefully my 49 when I get it back), and customized ones (my 48 with all the modifications I've made to it), but truly restored ones are rare.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
