Cub Cadets are the second best pieces of equipment!! An IH guy told me in the early 70's that Cub Cadets used a Ford rear end, not sure if that's true or not but sure made an impression on me! I'm sure the new ones are made by probably Toro, and are no way near as tough as the one in Tom's photo.

Yes have worked and lived in Germany myself. For JD

plus vacation time visiting WWII battle sites and battle sites in France, Belguim, and Luxembourg and the American Military Cemeteries that put any golf course to shame, beautiful places for our veterans who didn't make it out.

Southern Germany is the best, you can't beat Bavaria. I have family living still in Zweibrucken and farming around Reifenberg, (the Saar and extreme western Bayern areas) and others up in the Rhineland. Nice people. The Germans are hard working, clean, thrifty and well organized and punctual people. Didn't see much antique car activity but a lot of pretty neat BMW's and Mercedes! The area around Friedrichshofen and the Bodensee is pretty neat, and off towards the Austrian border NeuSchwansteinschloss and such.

Gotta run got some neat tools from Ursus' neighbor's yard sale on the cheap, anxious to go try them out!
