 Brandon/Fred: Thanks for the nice comments. I'm working on some more to post about the Case. I have to say it is a mighty handy tractor, but it sure doesn't ride as smooth as the '70'! I found a '48 Cub that is stuck and troubled, but not too far away in Florida from me. I haven't got it home yet, maybe in a month or so. My maternal GrandDad bought a new Cub in '48 and he used it to garden about three acres. I used to drive it as a kid, so I thought it would make a nice one to work over, use in my garden, and renew some nice old memories. I'm not really a collector, because I really enjoy using them after they're "done". What I'm after in terms of different models, is to collect the major models we used on the farm, so I'd still like to find a '48 "A", a 4020D, and maybe an "H". My paternal GrandDad was a diary farmer and had a '36 "A", '40 "H" and later a '52 "A", so we'll see how far I get. I'd also like to do something with the Dubuques, since I've never worked around those models. Maybe a nice '40'. Frank-in-Tallahassee ’56 70D // ’90 855 // ’50 VAC // ’48 Cub wb8ens@aol.com
