Jumped in feet first:

Another Craigslist victim, I had to jump on it. Been wanting on a IH Cadet for some time. Why? Don't really have the time or place to keep another one, but dad had one that was built like a tank, compared to my 1045. 1045 cuts very well and turns on a dime and I am pleased with it but you know what "want does."
Couple of weeks ago, Gary Charles agreed to go with me to Benton and we hauled back 3 non-runners. As the gentleman said, "dad use to run them."
The 1250 has a mower on it, a different coil and condenser and a much needed carb cleaning, runs and mows, the unknown model maybe a 109 or 149, with a blade (not IH) on it runs, was also needing a carb cleaning, and the 1000, a new coil, carb cleaning and it runs well but goes no where, because it does not have the clutch and drive shaft, so I'll be hitting Jpcubs up and looking for one. Two flat tires out of the bunch ain't bad. Big thing, me and Gary had a good day! I also bought a drill press and Gary bought a metal band saw. Usually it is Gary filling up the trailer - he probably would have bought a couple more items, but alas, we were running short on room.
