Not much done. I did get the 3 point hitch installed and I started cleaning up the hood. It will need a few repairs before painting. . Sorry forgot to take picture. I decided I wanted to put fenders on this and I have decided to go with the original narrow wheels all around. Just need to acquire the items.
Fenders showed up today. Excellent shape. Won't take much to get them ready for paint. |

Nothing too exciting. I did get a chance to cut and bend the new hood brace. It is 16 gauge which is the max my brake can handle, It is thicker than what was there. There are a couple of other small repairs I need to make. Hope to get it welded in tomorrow or Friday.

Got my narrow set of rims and tires in. The rears I picked up locally from another CUB fan.
Worked on the hood most of the day. So glad I listened to you guys about making a new brace. Would have been almost impossible to reuse the one from that other hood plus the new one is thicker. Also welded washers inside because the bolt holes were broken out. Need to finish cleaning up the old paint, get some bondo on where needed and prime and paint. Test fit worked !!! |

Looking really good!! Nice work on the brace!
Just curious... why did you decide on the narrow tires and wheels? Most people seem to gravitate to the wider ones... But I like them both ways Doesn't make any difference... just wondered

Good question. I restored a 1963 John Deere 110, which if you don't. Know are not that common. Only 1000 made. Anyway it came originally with the narrow and I liked the look. From what I have read these also came standard with the narrow and the wider was an option.
My current rims are very badly pitted and one of the front rims the bearing race spins in rim. Guessing someone ran a frozen bearing. So I was going to need to do something anyway even if I stayed wide. i guess I wanted to try and get it back close to what it was. Of course I don't really know what it was. |

I personally like the look of the narrow fronts. Good choice.
As for the hood brace, instead of doing all the extra welding along the edge. You could have spot welded it, or just drill three small holes in the brace, then fill the holes with weld... Looks good thus far, I enjoy following these rebuilds.

Thanks Zippy... if you closely I did drill the holes and weld there. The original brace was spot welded and both sides pulled through. The 73 hood I have also has breaks in the hood where the spot welds have pulled through. So I decided to add the extra weld. I certainly need more practice with my welding skills to make it more presentable.
Appreciate the feedback Bill |

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.
