[AT] Tractor dash

David, sounds like a great trip indeed, and what a terrific thing for your
grandson!   I bet he's one grinning young man as soon as he sees that Cub.

Subject: [AT] Tractor dash

Good morning,
Just got back from a 1900mi, 36hr, mad dash from SW Michigan to the Boston
area.  Wound up with more than we set out to get.  My best buddy Larry had
found a 1939 IHC I-14, complete, for a reasonable price out there.  So like
we have done at various times before, we bought it.  Scheduling was tight
but we could run out this weekend.  Gathered Larry's son up and off we went
Friday evening.  Got to Mass. Saturday  morning and met with the seller
(great guy).  Fortunately, the weather couldn't have been better even though
the Boston area had a hard, wet snow Friday.  The I-14 was every bit of what
we expected, needs some TLC but everything is there and free.  Well we
talked a bit and the seller had a Cub he would part with that was also a
nice deal.  I have a 12 year old grandson that would rather restore a Cub
(his 1st choice) rather than have a quad or play video games, etc, so this
Cub jumped right on the trailer and followed us home also.  Got back here at
6:00 this morning!
 .  We pushed it way to hard (rotated out driving frequently so kept it
safe) and are really dragging today.  Definitely not as young as we wish we
still were!  This afternoon his Mom is bring my grandson over for some
unexplained reason, he has no idea the tractor is here.  Should be great
fun, now and during his first restoration project.  
Couldn't wish for a better weekend this!
David
