Default Original Restore

I started tear-down of my 1961 Original today to prepare for restoration. I didn't get too far, as I am letting the exhaust soak in PB Blaster so I can get it apart.
The first pic is before, and the second is what I got accomplished today.

Thanks!...

It looks good in pictures, but close up it's a little rough, mostly the hood and dash tower, so I will get them taken care of, and do a little painting.

And I like the idea of buying another...

I agree with everyone else. This will not only be a neat thread, but also a nice O to start with. I really like the ag tires on the back! Can't wait to see more.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
