Hey all,
I've been threatening to start on my Original for some time. The kids were off from school and the weather cooperated, so I figured it was time. We bought the tractor for my youngest son since the older son and I use my other "O" for pulling. Son #2 doesn't really want to pull, just look cool riding it around. There's a show coming up in January and we'd love to have the tractor done in time for that event. So, we started on it today. We both had a great time and the little guy learned "Lefty, loosey, righty, tighty!" What more does he need to know! ![]() As it stands, the frame is in primer and we'll be working on the rear end tomorrow or the next day. Now, this ISN'T a nut-and-bolt restoration or rebuild, but more of a "let's make this thing presentable so he'll look cool on it!" kind of endeavor. There will be some sanding, sand-blasting, painting and of course, CLEANING. Anyways, here's the pics for today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

The only spot where there was some real rust was on the dash tower, and since I had that off already before and replaced the rusty bolts with new ones, everything came apart really well. Even the steering wheel popped right off, no puller needed!
![]() I'm not sure what paint we'll use on it yet. I've not had very good luck with the "new stuff" that Tractor Supply has in stock, but I'm not sure what else might be found locally. The TS stuff is pretty sturdy, and shines nice when dry, but we had some issues with sags and some funny happenings while it was still wet. Hoping to have this one ready for the January Flywheelers!

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.
