Got started tinkering on my O.
 

As you remember, I put my O on my back porch to have a place to work on it this winter. I put the heat shrink clear plastic on the outside of the screens last weekend to create a green house effect on the porch. Boy, it does almost too good. Can be in the thirties outside and eighty on the porch. I keep the back door, leading inside the house, and it heats my whole house toasty.

Here is it awaiting:

And now look at it:

I rebuilt the carb and S/G already.

No problems at all so far as everything seems to be in good nick. I had soaked the bolts in penetrating oil earlier so they all are coming out easy.

I will have to pace myself or I will be finished it too soon.

Question. Is the original the same width as my 122/124 ? If so I guess I can work on them after this one.

Thanks for looking.

PS... That is a genuine Persian Oriental Carpet it is sitting on. They are as tough as Cubs.

Good job, John! Please keep the updates coming. :beerchug:

I was going to ask you about that fancy carpet! At least it will protect any parts you drop!

good work:beer2:

Careful, if that carpet is Persian, then it might be a flying carpet and you are likely to lose your O! Then you would step onto your porch and say, "O-my!!!" :biggrin2:

Looks good so far. Get it done ASAP and let it go out in the snow and play....then you can start on another cub!

Cub Cadet 123

The tower came off real easy as with the steering wheel.

This is the first time anything major has been done to this O. I am amazed that there is no rust anywhere on the frame and tower. It is nice not finding any surprises left by a PO.

Very nice, looks like you have a good one to restore. :beerchug:

Looks like it is coming along,are you going to paint it in there too?

No, I will take it to a neighbor who has a down draft booth and dryer. I don't want paint fumes all over. I will use his bead blaster as well.

Lookin' good man! Your making quick work of the dis-assembly!! :beerchug:
