well to keep it on the short side, this started out as a cub cadet 122. my grandfather bought it new in 67. it has spent the last 15 years sitting in a hedge row. well I decided it was time to fix that. it did end up with a lot of modifications. just to name a few a v-twin 16hp engine where the single 12 use to sit, that required a fare amount of frame mods. fully upgraded/rebuilt transaxle, converted over to narrow front, rear lift with custom electric lift, custom fuel tank welded into the seat base, all new rubber, every inch of metal was sandblasted and repainted over to IH colors. I can keep going on with pic's if you really want. oh yeah I forgot to mention, the fur check didn't come close to covering the cost of this years winter project!!

Nice what year model and horsepower do you have there?
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3

Nice job, and thanks for the background. I could tell it was customized, but that was about it. Sweet job. Feel free to share some of the pics. This is a machine with some history, lots of hard creative labor, and is a unique one of a kind. Thanks for sharing with us. Don't want to start anything political on the SwampTalk forum, but the color is right.
Sounds like you need a bigger fur check next year!
