Mr. Bedell, Thank you. I guess I am have to remove the fenders, because, I looked at what I see of the rear end and all I found was a casting number.

Diz Jr, Thank you. It has been a long time since I have had a gear driven CC,
all the rest have been hydros. I think the PO has install the wrong hood, as it is hitting the steering wheel upon closing. If I could get someone with a 70 to measure the lenght of their hood, It will be appreciated.

The hood is probably correct. They probably ran into something and bent the front of the frame where the grille mounts. Ive had luck with grabbing the top of the grille and giving a solid jerk towards the front to bring them back. Also have taken the grille off and persuaded it with a BFH till it was straight again

Odds are the hood has been push back. My last 100 that I purchase had the same problem. The frame is mess up a little where the front grill connects to the frame.
For a quick fix I put a washer between the rear grill mount and the frame. The hood now clears the steering wheel.

I recently got a 100 that does the same thing except if I turn the steering wheel a bit the hood will clear the wheel.

That's the way my O is, just figured it was a worn out steering gear and dash grommet. I didn't think about the grill being pushed back, will have to check that out.

Thank you Fellows for all the replies. The front of the frame and the grill show no damage. Merk, I will try the washer trick. Am I correct in assuming that the washer will tilt the grill forward more? The PO cut a 2 inch section out of the outer cover on the steering wheel. My guess is hoping the hood would clear, did not work. Could someone give me some suggestions/advice on how to post pictures? Merk, I just read all the posts on your 70 restoration, when I get into this tractor, your restro will be a great help.

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.
