Good morning.

For a few years now I've been watching this site. Finally decided to sign up as a member.
I've seen a lot of good advice shared on this website.

Currently I have the following machines:

Farmall Cub w/ IH 1000 Loader. It was a Christmas gift for my dad a few years ago.
Farmall Super A. Purchased by my grandfather in 1956.
IH 350 Utility. Purchased by my grandfather in the mid 1970's.
Oliver OC-3 Crawler Loader. This is not a lawn-friendly machine.

Let's just say there's always oil to clean up in the building where I store them.

Hope you all are staying warm.

Welcome to the forum. It's nice when you can keep tractors in the family.

Welcome to the forum Rick! I hope you can make it to the Barnyard Bash this year. www.barnyardbash.com
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Thanks for the welcoming comments.

As soon as I can figure out how to attach a photo, I'll show you my tractors.

Ricky Racer - is it possible that I bought a snowplow for my cub from you back in 2016/2017? It was late on a snowy Sunday afternoon. I probably shouldn't have been out driving in that weather.

Ok, here are some photos. I like to resurrect old machinery.

Here are my three International Harvester tractors.

Here's the Oliver OC3 Crawler Loader.
Haven't ran it in about 2 years.

Finally, here's an irrigation pump I bought last year.

This is the pump after a little work.

That's very likely! I've sold a few of them.

I could not say tractor when I was 2 years old so I called it Err Err.

I loved this tractor then and I still love it now.
