I got this last year to mow the lawn with...1968 IHC Cub-Lowboy. I don't much care for the"turf tires." She runs perfect and gets up under and around my pineand apple trees quite well.
OK...My favorite tractor...

Re: OK...My favorite tractor...
Machine guns, M151's and International Harvester Cub Cadets, you're a man after my heart. LOL! I have a 71' Vintage 129 that I mow my lawn with, my employees think i'm crazy getting on that old mower as I own some of the best zero turn lawn mowers and walkbehinds for my business. I just like sitting back drinking a tasty beverage, listening to some tunes relaxing as I cut my lawn on the turtle setting. During the week I go full blast on my tiger cub skag which reaches a nice 15mph on flat straight aways and cuts beautifully, I can cut my own lawn in 25 minutes with it, the cub takes me over an hour.
Great looking machine you have there!

Re: OK...My favorite tractor...
Ah yes....
I do some of my best thinking when I am mowing with my IHC Lowboy...sippin a cold one...mowing a 6' swath..no worries, except for driving around all the trees.... The grass isn't going anywhere...it will still be there when I get to it .
I do not much care for air cooled "farm" or "mowing equipment."
You can repair them old tractors till hell freezes and they are nearly always worth what you paid for them when/if you decide to sell them. The new zero radius mowers have no "soul." Besides they jerk me around way to much and are too fast. OK if you are on a jobsite with one...maybe. Nut I approach my persoanl mowing with a relaxed all day...attitude. Good to see other folks do as well.
