Together at last

[John Niekamp]

Well you have seen both of these Cubs before, but never together. I think they look kind of neat seeing them sitting side by side.

The front one is a 1955 Cub LoBoy, "Clarence" or "Clarence's Cub" purchased May 2004. The rear one is a 1954 Regular F-Cub, known by most on the forum here as "The Kroil Express" purchased March 2005.

Everything is done on both tractors with the exception of the lights. I have both styles of lights, The flat (pancake) ones for the 54 and the teardrop for the 55, all painted, just need bulbs and seals/gaskets, and then a seat for the LoBoy.

I just had to take a picture of them both together.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments.

Well after getting the regular cub finshed with the mowing deck I was thinking about selling or trading off the Loboy, but Mary (my wife) brought me to my senses. She told me to keep it and then in time, give one of the cubs to each of our boys. Got to give credit, where credit is due, THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA!

The only problem I see with this is..........Who gets what? OR should I just not worry about it and let them fight over them when that time arrives?

All-n-All, it's neat to have more than one, Dunno, maybe my plans will include using both of them someday. Right now (after this picture) the LoBoy is in moth balls, drained the radiator and fuel system and put him back in the corner of the garage for safe keeping.

nice, john, very nice sell? naw, you just need more implements!

ps. i drained 6 gallons of fuel out of the W6 so it's usable at 2/3 tank or less without sloshing out, but if you are able to fab up the lip reforming tool, i'd like to be first to test drive it.

Oldest boy gets oldest tractor, unless thye agree they would prefer it reversed.

Ohhhhh. JN, it makes my heart go pitter-patter!

That is a true thing of beauty!

Guess I better pick up the tempo on the Yeller one, I wasn't planning on getting IH red on the camera just yet. But, once she is in the garage, anything is possible. After all, yeller started as an oil change and a tune up!

Nice work!
