Hello all long time no post, but visit almost daily.
Before i get started i would like to thank the entire site for all the knowledge, hints, tips, tricks, and support. I would have been lost with out the guidance. I would also like to thank the sponsors, whom with out i would still be tracking down parts.
To keep things short, my motor blew its front main seal, keeping the grass down at the family farm. With plenty of other tractors in reserve I made the decision that it was time to do what i could to make this tractor last as long as possible.
The long and short of it. Took it 80%~ apart all parts were base coat and at least 2 coats of clear. Fixed and replaced every thing i could afford. Motor is a 10+ rebuild, carb rebuilt, new wiring harness, new decals, and many other things i might care to forget about. It has been a trial and great learning experience.
Once again i cant express my appreciation and admiration for all the help i received from Only cub cadets members and sponsors. And now the goodies. (sorry for some blurry camera phone shots)
