thanks thad
Hi everyone my name is Clarence. I am a 1966 International Harvester Cub Cadet 122 12 hp. I still retain my original power plant which is a cast iron block Kohler K301AS 12hp electric start. Some other specs are a 3 speed transmission with a high and low range creeper gear, manual lift for implements, 23x8.50x12 rear tires and 16x6.50x8 front tires. I have a weight of 800 pounds. I was born in Louisville Kentucky in February of 66. I was sold as a basic no frill machine. My price then was $905.
Most of my history is a blank so we will start where my history is known. I was purchased by Ron in 2001 or so to help with yard work. I was used for that for several years until I was having issues staying running so I was parked . After several years of sitting, my current owner Thad saw the benefit of using me so I was pulled out of my parking spot. I have received TLC and have been extremely useful for my current owner on the 4 acres. I have plowed dirt, moved snow, mowed the lawn and pulled trailers around the yard. I still wear my work clothes and will wear them proudly as I am used weekly for some yard work .
I have had several accessories added to me. They include headlights and taillight which was a $31.25 option, wheel weights which was $12.75 option and I also have a spring assist to help lifting the various implements. My other options include creeper gear which was $45 option. I also have 3 point hitch which was a $14.50 option, high flotation front tires which was $11 option and a sleeve hitch adapter which was $12.
I also have several other attachments Brinly tt100 which is a $22.50 attachment also I have a Brinly pp100 plow which was $55.00 option. Some other attachments include Brinly cc 525 cultivator which was $48 attachment also a 38inch mower deck which was a $139 attachment.
All that added up would have been 1,296 dollars in 1966 that would be 9,639.51 in 2016. As you can see they were expensive but they were your precursor to your sub compact today. They were built to accept ground engaging attachments.
If you want a vintage tractor but do not have the space to keep a big farm tractor consider a vintage garden tractor. Thank you all for your time.
