the 73 is rusty
This was stored in a garage basement for 8 years. I got it from the original owner. Must have been a damp place as there is some serious rust issues.
Tank is different than the usual 7 hp, but it is what it came with when new.I have the manual for it, purchased in April of 1971.Engine #s match the ones in the manual and I even have some old Polaroids of it with a snow plow in 1979 and it shows that tank on it. Unfortunately there was gas left in it and it is rusted. Came with wheel weights, mower deck and a snow plow, which is in good shape as it was stored in the upstairs garage. Hopefully this will be running by Friday.

Nice 73 Lew! I don't know if that deck will clean up. I've seen worse, though.

tore down the deck to paint it hehehe
About 5 lbs of rust fell off this when I starting removing the parts that were still good. BTW the seat has no cracks on it.

Lew I hate to say this but I'm glad you finally got one that's crusty rusty like most of mine have been. It's all there though, and good story behind it. 73s are awesome. Rare list keeper or not really? And...........wheel weights...............of course it does, nice

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.
