That's what I call quick turnaround. Nice job! Also interested in details about what you did to the tractor other than paint. or was everything good mechanically? Really like the ags on the front!

ok guess I need to answer some questions lol, I have a cheap harbor freight tire changer for atv and tractor tires its around 40 I think and works great, always wrap duct tape around the tools and use vegetable oil for the lube works great smells good probably why im hungry now. I do it all myself except machine work because I don't have the right tooling, im not married or have a girlfriend because there would be no way id ever get these beauties done at all, plus no one to take my money except the parts store lol. as far as paint I use the stuff from tractor supply it works great and its cheap, I use majic paint majic thinner and hardener. I do not use there primer cause it sucks really bad and takes forever to dry so I use rustoleum white primer and not one single issue with it, give it about 20-30 minutes depending on the humidity and put the majic ontop and bam that's how it comes out. The tractor itself as I took it apart I found stuff that I need to buy, my list of what I bought as far as everything is
iso engine mounts
new stator/alternator
carb rebuild kit as some one decided to only put in one bowl gasket
rustoleum semi gloss black , for the engine
vht high temp paint for the muffler
new head lights napa 4411 with screw leads
NOS bargman tail lights from ebay from darkminion 17
tractor supply seat
mule drive pulleys
set of 1250 and mower deck decals from maple hunter decals
majic cub cadet yellow and I H white plus hardener and thinner

that's about it guys I added it up and comes out to about $450 into it plus the $650 I paid for it so not to bad and I paid $450 for the shredder grinder delivered here. don't think its that bad as far as prices go it looks new now my dad wants me to do his 1000 lol. I got some pics of the mower deck ill put some up for you guys looks good

Nice job, man! Got to agree, the Quiet Line is a beautiful looking IH Cub Cadet garden tractor, and still retains all the heavy, strong old iron too. There are just some outstanding QL's here at Only Cub Cadets.net ! Mine has a 50" deck, and a rear lift for attachments. But that IH chipper is very neat to see.

The pair of spread frames in the back ground are cool too!
