Charlie,
I sent you an email with my comments and my offer to help.
I remember way back in late '99 or early 2000, when I first started exploring garden tractors as a hobby. I found this site and read almost all the posts. I remember several names, i.e., Bryan, Jim Steele, Bob Necker, etc. Then I decided I wanted green and yellow, and bought a JD 214. WFM came online January 2002. I immediately joined and later became moderator. Throughout all that I would still come here and read, gawked at the pictures, trying to figure out the Cub Cadet mystique. I got into Wheel Horses for a couple of years. Joined Red Square Wheel Horse forum (I am member 31). Became a moderator there. Throughout it all I still came here and read and gawked and wondered.
Finally in February 2009 I bought my first Cub. Now I have about 8 or so, only 3 JDs and no Wheel Horses. I immediately came back to this site (I didn't know OCC existed, nor the registry). Why would I, this WAS the Cub Cadet forum, the one I first found many years ago. Of course, my interest grew so I found OCC and the registry and the Yahoo Groups site. But, to me, I still associate Cub Cadets and this site together.
Charlie, you got my support.
