108 resto
 

I got a couple of parts cubs a couple of weeks ago and this 108 was one of them.It was parked quite a few years ago.So I figured what the heck I ll look up the serial number and come to find out it is only 10 serial numbers ahead of my 129.So they could have been on the same assembly line at the same time.So I decided I 1m going to restore it . Have gotten it torn down and started sandblasting some parts today. So I `m going to try and get it primered next week.

And what kind of paint would yall suggest. I was thinking of getting the cub paint at my case dealer but I have never tried it so I was wondering how good it is.
If I had the money I would buy Omni but that's out of the question.

But anyways heres the pics

Jed your off to a great start! With 10 digits apart they were on the line being built at the same time!

Thats cool that there only that far apart. Id go with the federal yellow from your case dealer. Its the right color and goes on easy if you mix it right. Using hardner in it will make it last much longer though, also shines and is very durable. The first one i did i went without out and thats sat in a shed since it was done, i did a 129 used hardner been working it for 3 yrs and looks better than the 123.

Thanks for the pics, Jed. Glad you're going to restore the 108.

Hey guys just an update.

Well I got the spindles and front axle sandblasted and I got all the brake parts off the rear ready to be blasted.
Going to pick up some sand Friday to so I can sandblast the frame and don`t worry Duke I`ll get some pics.:biggrin2:

Didn`t get to much done cause I got to get some seat time mowing the yard with the 129.:beer2:

Thanks for the update, Jed.

Well tonight I sand blasted all of the brake mechanisms and started wire wheeling the frame.Got to pick up a couple more wire wheels.And I got another shiftier put in the trans.

Appreciate the pics and update, Jed.

Me too!:beer2:

I took the frame to school today and used the torches in shop to get the lift handle off.:Woo:
