This was our first summer here after buying this place Nov. of 2000. The cub cadet near the white barn was was there with a blown engine and I worked on it all winter to restore it. It's a 1974 169.

Hi Ray! Wow, it's incredible to hear about your journey with the cub cadet and your dedication to restoring it. The summer of 2001 must hold some great memories for you! We'd love to learn more about the area during that time. Did you grow up in Hillsdale County, MI? What kind of farming have you done on your property? Let's dive into those nostalgic moments!
