Nice 800 Nick!! I bet your glad you finally decided to go get it:biggrin2:

cubcadet 07-25-2013 09:01 AM

i sure am martin , i have to clean it up some more, but i started to polish up the chrome implement lift handle :beer2:

cubcadet 07-25-2013 10:28 AM

ok guys, i made a grill for the 800, i had a brand new wire grill that i primed, it was from the steel supply and was cut out to fit a cub cadet original, i cut it up with an angle grinder and cut a hole in it with a hole saw in my drill press, now it fits the muflfer neck out of the front of grill , i painted it black , and i only have one mounting spring clip , guess i will have to use a plastic zip tie, you could see where the old grill had busted off :bash2::beerchug: pics to come

Nick,
Congrats on bringing home the 800! We need some more pics of that badboy!

ACecil 07-25-2013 11:46 AM

Looking forward to some pics, Nick!

cubcadet 07-25-2013 02:37 PM

ok, thanks guys:beer2:

cubcadet 07-25-2013 02:52 PM

ok guys, heres the 800s new grill, i like it, but it was hard to cut the grill and the hole for the muffler because the grill is not really that flat , also started to pull some bends out of the back of the fender pan, and got rid of the ball hitch and started to straighten the hitch with a big pipe wrench , some one used it to pull boats and bent the hitch :bash2::beerchug:

red56turbo 07-26-2013 11:47 AM

Nick,
You did well on the 800. I've never seen one of those gas caps before. Thanks for giving us more looks of the tractor. Those rear tires look small. What size are they?

cubcadet 07-26-2013 11:57 AM

thanks guys, idk josh, they are car tread lol :biggrin2:

cubcadet 07-27-2013 11:12 AM

800s new shoes

cubcadet 07-27-2013 11:13 AM

Cubcrazy 07-27-2013 04:16 PM

Them look better Nick!:beerchug:

red56turbo 07-27-2013 05:23 PM

I've always liked the looks of narrow front and rear tires on the wideframe cubs, especially the 86 and 800. My 86 had the narrow fronts and rears. Those tires look muuuuuuuuch better Nick!

cubcadet 07-27-2013 09:15 PM

i know, thanks guys:beer2:

ACecil 07-27-2013 09:35 PM

The tires look good, Nick.

cubcadet 07-28-2013 07:56 AM

thanks allen, i know:biggrin2:

J-Mech 07-28-2013 10:30 AM

I hadn't noticed that the whole machine had the narrow tires. Don't see many wide frames with narrow all the way around. Looks MUCH better Nick!

cubcadet 07-28-2013 11:00 AM

thanks jonathan:beer2:
