BAD day for the 70!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy hauling my daughters 70, sends me a text saying the tractor was damaged. He said the hood was bent just a little and he would not charge me for the haul job. Hood and steering wheel (bent/cracked) are wasted! I'm VERY unhappy today to say the least. The frame has been brush painted at one time,which explains the color difference. It has very straight, besides the hood,. The trans feels and shifts nice. The seat pan is mint. Engine runs nice,starts easy, but does smoke a bit. We'll definitely be restoring her after we move. I'm in the market for a clean hood and steering wheel though....

The hood damage could be repaired; bent/banged back straight. Or you could just look for another hood, that's another option. It doesn't look that poor to me.

Looks very repairable to me! Though it got beat a little bit, it still looks like a very good, usable tractor. I would be happy to own it. You are lucky it wasn't worse! Every time someone buys a tractor from me, I make sure the cash is in my hands before THEY load it. That way I am insured for the item I put together and worked many hard hours on. Had an old sears slip the ramps and it broke the axle off. Turned out that the guy's ramps were at fault, as THEY bent and I ended up with a $150 loss and no sale.

I hope you keep the his info, a good body & fender man can fix the hood, a great one will not use much if any filler but that will cost $$$ . Sorry to hear of the mis hap with your tractor,

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.
