cub 73 info
 

Hello, I am probally picking up a cub 73 and wanted to know a few things. What fenders work with it? will the spring assist work with this tractor? Also, If I wanted to retrofit a creeper is this a straight forward swap?

You need 70/100, 71, 72, 73 fenders. The NF spring assist will fit. The creeper is pretty straightforward. You just have to split the tractor and shorten the driveshaft. You may as well go through the clutch while you're in there.

thanks
 

thanks matt, the clutch on this machine is actually new. it has no fenders or spring assist. I am going to buy it beause it has a rebuilt motor, steering, clutch and is in very good condition. I just want to add some goodies to it

Jason,
The only thing a creeper is for in a gear drive is blowing snow or tilling. If your not doing any of the after mentioned, I would skip it.
Unless it becomes a trailer Queen loaded with options,but dirt, it's a bad thing for it....

I'd like to get my hands on a 73 too!! Can't wait to see some pics of it. Here's a link to some info and a sweet looking 73 with dualies:beerchug:

That is a nice one !!! I saw that the other day !!! freaking sweet !!!!

this is it
 

I had the owner send me a pic of it. This is what he had. It needs a bath and some touch up. It has a 38" deck and headlights. Fresh engine rebuild 30 over and a redone clutch. He is a small engine repair guy and has went over the whole machine. It needs some cosmetics but mechanically it's all there.

Great looking 73!

Awesome looking 73, so when do you pick it up?:biggrin2.gif:

Jay, you're so lucky! I'd like to bring that 73 home! :ThumbsUp:

home
 

Someone bought my 105 and I have to deliver that in like 2 weeks, then I will bring that home. I am friends with the guy an its in his garage so there is no rush. I do wanna get it here asap though. Then I have to decide if I will tear that apart first or my 127.

Nice, ya, know that feeling of can't wait to get it home:biggrin2.gif:. I'm having some problems with decision also, I bought an Original to restore and now I have to many cubs and all restoration work has stopped on the O' so I can get parts and maintain the rest of the fleet. I need to stop buying cubs or I'll never get any restored:beer2:

Nice IHCC 73!
 

Looks to be in super shape! Fenders would be nice. Should have more power with the rebuilt motor. Nice tractor!

That is a sweet tractor, my son and I restored a 73 and I've mowed with it and I must say it is one of my favorites for mowing with. I get a lot of looks when I mow near our highway right of way. A 73 model is a great tractor.

deck
 

Do you have a picture? Also what size deck are you using?

Great looking 73! A guy up my road has a 73. It is in great shape! He is the orginal owner I whould love to buy it.
