[Farmall] older Cadets

Mon Nov 22 05:09:48 PST 2010

There probably aren't a huge amount of the IH built tractors that are still used by general consumers but a lot of us enthusiasts still use them for their intended purpose. Most of us have multiple tractors so that we have backups and don't have to switch attachments as much. I do most of my mowing with a 782 and my 882 diesel that I added a turbo charger to. I use a 123 and 1450 for snow removal. I have a 149 that is painted up nice but still get used for various chores and I also have a 123 with a loader. I have a 102 that is basically a show tractor but it get pressed into light service occasionally and I have a 100 that still gets used although it is slated to be a show tractor eventually.

There are a few tractors here locally that I help keep running for people who are just general consumers.

I've noticed there are practically none left "earning their keep". Dad used 
to work on lots of them but this past summer he didn't work on any Cadet 
that was over 25 years old, unless you count one of his! The 128 at my house 
was completely gone through 15 years ago. It is in as decent mechanical 
shape as you could hope for. If all goes well it will be joined by a 2072 
tomorrow.
