I borrowed these from my friend Dave when I had to patch a set of expansion chambers for my Kawasaki H1

I was only doing small areas and since it's was round, warpage was less of a problem.

Plus them were to the point of either patch or throw away ( and I didn't have $700 for another set of chambers )



Good thing it's underneath and can't be easily seen

Lot of work Tim, was it pretty solid to start?
The 56's have a killer interior. So much style, and chrome.

It's not to bad, the quarters are pretty rotted but other than that its solid. There's a ton of chrome and stainless trim on this thing, when we sent it all out to have the chrome redone and the trim polished it cost a little over $15000 to have it all done.

Looks good Tim. What size holes do you use for plug welds? The reason I ask is because I spent Thursday afternoon and Friday making a nice sheetmetal closeout panel for my firewall and it warped bad when I welded it. I then spent Saturday cutting it off to make another panel. I used 5/16 holes and I think they caused to much heat when I welded it. Think I'm going to try 3/16 or 1/4 holes next time.

This is what it looked like before and you can see how bad it looked after I welded it.

The holes are 5/16 . welding sheet metal is a pain and it always seems like everybody want to turn the welder down so there's less heat but the problem with that is it takes longer for the weld to burn in good so it actually creates more heat, I always run the welder hot so I get a quicker burn in. When I weld sheet metal I only do a 1 second spot weld then move and I always try to keep about 2ft between welds so the metal doesn't get to hot and warp. When I weld the long seam on the quarter I will spot weld it on one end then move to the other end and then go to the middle and I keep jumping around like that which allows the metal time to cool.

Now that the right side is fitted and ready to weld I'm getting the left side fitted, I just got done cutting off the old skin.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
