Default Cub cadet 70
Ok everybody I think I have found the right place for these questions. I'm going to pick up a cub cadet 70 this Saturday, that's in kind of rough shape but I got it real cheap. It doesn't run, but ain't locked up, so I think it will be alright. I'm pretty mechanically oriented. I have access to a lathe, mill, and about any tool I could need. Let me know what you think.

Welcome to OCC.
My guess on the tunnel butcher is because they needed to repair the shifter and didn't want to split the tractor. Sucks when idiots take the cheap and lazy way out.

Welcome to OCC.

The IH built transaxles are, hands down, the toughest in the industry, that's why they are the top choice for pullers.

im really considering what to do with this tractor i want to restore it but i dont really know what to do its nice. and i think it would make a nice tractor to take to the farm shows to ride around restored but its missing the seat and the carb i have a seat until i can find an original but i need a carb for this tractor is there anywhere i can find one halfway cheap im only 16 so i need to stay kind of low budget if at all possible although i have my grandpas shop that has a lathe and endmill and drill press and about any hand tool i could ever need.

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.
