149 restore
 

Wanting to make my cub like this tractor. Do people cut the middle out of the hood extender and reuse or do they use the ones that are on a cub 800?

That is my tractor. I used a hood nose from a Quietline tractor (800,1200,1250,1450,1650).

Please don't use one from an 800..... If you have one of them, restore it. :biggrin2:

Sorry to post your tractor. I only ask because if people used the original nose piece I was going to buy another and keep mine so that I have all the original parts. This tractor was handed down from a good friend that was practically my dad growing up and he is a big ih guy and wanted to surprise him.

Don't be sorry for posting pics of my tractor. I don't mind. I started a thread titled "149 Restofication" with lots of pics along the way.

That's awesome. I can't wait to do more with mine. Motor being sleeved now, sandblasted soon. Also in the process of making a 4 wheel wagon to go along with it.

I cut the middle out of this one. It's on a wide frame.

That's a good idea.

Here's how I did mine. (Inspired, like you, by IHinIN's project). Mine is a 14 hp gear drive (hence 148) modeled after the IH 1066.

That's purdy! :)
