Another Amazing Restoration
 

I simply can't find the words to express how the pictures of this restored tractor make me feel.

That sure is a restored beauty!:bigeyes::biggrin2:

Pristine condition fresh off showroom floor is how many will have to describe theirs after seeing this "restoration".

Yikes yuck!!!!

Looks like I can quit my job now, no way I can compete with that skill level.:biggrin2:

:biggrin2::bigeyes:

Words fail me. :biggrin2:

I'd give it a solid "10"
( 10 beers)
Beauty in in the eyes of the beer holder.:beerchug:

I started collecting and restoring antique farm equipment 30+ years ago. The term restored is extremely broad/far-reaching. The Cadet in question, well if it has a recently professionally rebuilt starter, and several NEW pulleys on the deck, he may not be too far off on price if you want to mow with it. I'm thinking $300 would be better. At best I would call it "fixed up/well cared for"-- restored, not so much.

Sad actually....hey not to derail, but after looking at that; mark, am I gonna be able to use the roundy fenders without having to change them in any way if I use the taller, or possibly custom made tunnel cover?? I'm hoping to stick that 1642 (or whatever It was ) alum rear with hyd lift, in a 72 and try to keep It from looking anything like that butchery in the add...?? Just wondering...probably one of those things I'll just have to cross when i get there...sorry, continue.........

So sad....someone get that away from him!! Well, have to low ball first I guess:bash2:

I agree, this is not restored. Looks to have started life as a model 73. It's a good mess of IH Cub Cadet parts all combine for that ultimate special tractor! I'd venture to say some squirt made himself proud to have made something out of nothing!

Oh boy!

:angry:

Thay thing is worthy of the empty cub box on eBay.

But the religious deck has new pulleys and blades.
I would be afraid they might go flying if used tho.

Never underestimate a man with a Sharpie, nice color scheme.:banned:
