New in Central Jersey
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:38 am
Hello, My name is Walt I'm from central New Jersey. I just purchased a 65' International Cub with a Mott D9 flail mower, last week. I've been looking for this exact tractor for about the last 20 years, as it is the exact tractor that I drove when I was a 12 year kid working on a local farm here in Central Jersey back in the 70's.
The Cub was bought from a working beef farm in Sussex County, NJ. The guy that I bought it from told me that it was bought new by his wife's father, they had a farm in western NY, and then they started to use it on their farm in the late 80's. They used mostly just for mowing and moving around equipment. I was told that has always been barn kept and is mostly original. It runs nice no smoke, but a few leaks mostly just the oil pan and carb. The only other problem is it is slow to crank. I plan on using in a large garden (once I get out of NJ) and to mow. But first I have to clean it up, paint and fix all the small problems. Looking to hearing from all the nice folks on this site.
Good luck and God Bless, Walt
