[Farmall] older Cadets

[john hall]

For the 128, is it ready to mow? All 3 of dad's have been used in the last 
couple months.

He's got a snow blower (don't know the model) that has practically never 
been used. The blower was bought by a local factory that had a Cadet to mow 
their grass. The theory was they would clear their sidewalks if it snowed. 
It looks as if it was used once or twice. I can imagine it was more trouble 
than it was worth, quite possibly they didn't have chains and weights as 
well. He's also got a sleeve hitch setup, but I've got to figure out what 
series it is off of, I'm thinking maybe a 124 or slightly older.
We've got a sales brochure somewhere around here that showed all the 
different attachments they made available back in the '70s.  A couple of 
those items I have never seen , such as a front mounted generator or a bench 
seat. I always thought the generator wouldn't be a bad idea.

By the way, if you need parts I've found a place on the internet that is far 
better than our local dealers. It is IH Cub Cadet Warehouse. They are in the 
final stages of moving the business. His prices are far better than I can 
get local. And on most stuff for machines with some age on them, the dealer 
has to order it so either way you'll pay freight.
