Illinois it is.

Scruffy, Man that is a tight schedule. I like your Cub idea, or how about a Farmall A. They really restore nice.
Best of luck to you.

Ernie, Thank you!
I will have to research the differance on the CUBS to figure out a preference! I haven't (at this time) the foggiest on the differance between the models. I think that I will see if anybody wants to start a string with photos of the differant models and what IS differant about them, but it will have to wait until we find a home and get set up at the other end.
Somewhere in the early fifties, didn't they come out with a 3pt hitch? How about rear PTO? Or was that a belt drive type of setup?

I don't think its as bad as further north. Seem to remember that southern IL was hilly. If you survived OK and Kansas, you should see less action in that area.

Sounds good!
The first week in OK, we saw a plastic K-Mart bag flying north about 6' off the ground. A week later, saw another (or same) K-Mart bag headed south about the same heighth off the ground, figured it had gone to Canada and back, being that I had been told the one fence in between Canada and Oklahoma was down. That place was windy, and flat. The snow was dry powder, and would blow into nice 3 or 4 foot drifts between home and work (10 miles on back roads), it got interesting at times. Particularly when I had to travel 3 days a week down to OKC (Tinker AFB), which was 103 miles, door step to door step. The highways weren't as bad as the back roads by any means.
