Hi Marlin! I enjoyed the pictures you shared, of the model 102, and 125. It's nice to see our garden tractors working hard, and dirty! An honest, settling testament to the True IH Cub Cadet earning it's keep year after year! I'll never complain about seeing more of your's in the future!
I'll keep on the sunny side, and suggest that the tires you might like to purchase will come your way soon. Hopefully, the gent selling them will see that the tires will be put to good use. Maybe offer $5 more? Say, I'd hold on those Firestone original "Gum-dipped" rear tires on ol' Clarence if they are worth keeping. I love seeing original tires still on these machines!
On a side note, I'm still pecking away at my 125. Hoping to tinker more through out this week, and to spend a good 5-6 hours in the shop working on the 125 this Saturday. I have some things to do to my Blazer to have it ready for winter, among other things around the house. Busy, busy, busy, I'll tell ya!
Take care guys, have a good day!
