City Tractor

I fell in love with the IH Cub after finding an abandoned 1951 in an old barn. A city boy who has no connection with a farm, I took on the hobby to rebuild it to working order. I am the only person in the City of Chicago with not one, but two IH Farmall tractors.
My boys and I live downtown not far from the John Hancock building and often drive them around for others to enjoy the rare site. I drove this Cub across Michigan Ave in stopped traffic and parked in front of Bloomingdales for the beautiful shot. Even the Chicago police were taking pictures. Great memory for our family.
This photo was taken on Thanksgiving 2020.

Chicago has had Cubs (Farmalls) in and around thier park system. I had to deliver one to Wrigley field. This was 55 years ago. Did your cubs come with dealer tags on them?
