Just picked up my first cub cadet
 

Ok so I picked up an IH cub cadet yesterday that some guy was giving away for free on Craigslist. It's missing some pieces but does run and it sounds strong. I'm 19 and I thought this would be a cool summer project to restore. I was wondering if this would be worth restoring. I've included a picture.
Thanks in advance :)

Definitely worth restoring :ThumbsUp:

Definitely an awesome find, especially being FREE! Congrats!

Welcome to OCC! Congrats on your 86! It's definitely worth restoring, plus it's a rare machine.

Ok cool Thanks! Where would be the best place to find parts?

You can find parts from our sponcers (at the top of the page) or look on ebay, Joe's outdoor parts is a good source and look at Messaks, they have a lot of stuff. There are also CC junk yards but you may have problems finding one... Good luck!! Great Find!! :)

Great deal on the tractor, I think you did well:bigthink:
Also you can place a WANT add in the wanted section.

:Welcome2:

Congrats on the nice find!

congrats on the nice 86, they are pretty rare:Welcome2:

Very cool! an 86.. You'll have a blast fixing that up. It will be a showstopper when you're done!
