SIMS Cab Refurb - 1872
Been working on a Winter project. A SIMS hard cab I bought several years ago from another member. It had been on a 682 but was designed for an 82 series super. Did not fit right on the regular length 82 series. Had some rust and pitting on the lower parts, guessing it was due to salt. So the refurb is to preserve it. I tried to do it right as it will be a lifetime keeper and a Winter workhorse. By the way I prefer a good cigar and a beer not the pipes.

Cleaned up the rough parts and coated them with POR15. Sanded the POR 15 when it was rock hard. Great stuff, I have used it on the bottom of mower decks and other tough areas with huge success. Then coated the parts where POR15 was with a special primer made for POR15. Note the POR 15 does great on bare or rusted metal but does not do well over the top of existing paint. The POR primer was brushed on some parts and smoothed out so well it looked sprayed. Only needed light sanding. I guess its worth the price.

Sanded and sprayed the other parts with two coats of primer and three coats of Valspar IH white with light sanding between coats. You can see the brushed on POR primer where I had used POR on the edges. The edges were very rusty under the weather seals. I then spray coated everything with regular primer.

I put 1/4" sheet rubber under the cab rear section, the fenders, and replaced the factory thin rubber footpad with the same 1/4" rubber. The extra height gets the cab foot mount up above the slight recess in the fender footwalls. This is to reduce vibration, provide a better seal, and match heights. Note the vise grips to keep everything aligned prior to drilling mounting holes in the fenders. The wood strips help alignment and prevent scratching the new paint. By the way, I let the paint dry for two weeks to get good and hard before assembly.

Its finally coming together. Hope t get it finished tomorrow. This cab was originally for a super without power steering (assume 982). I had to make a notch in the frame mount tab for the footwell to accommodate the bolt on the power steering cylinder. The finish on the footwells is a little rough due to pitting and POR but I expect them to last longer than me.

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.
