Default What can I get/do with my Original?

Now that I've got my Orig running decent, I'm getting bored just riding it around in circles I've got a deck, but the front edge is ate out on one side so... I was wondering what all is out there I can do with this thing so I can have an "excuse" to get it out more. My friend said it looks like you could put a rear PTO on it, is that possible/practical? I do have a pull cart from my GT2544, but other than that...

personally, I love restoring things to the "N"th degree. I just found an original sitting in a lot with a bunch of junk, gotta stop by and make him an offer.
Everyone here in CT. thinks that they're junk is worth alot because they saw one on the internet, or on tv sell for big bucks.
To me it's worth it, because Im passionate about antiques...so I guess going further with yours depends on personal preference.

Put your Orginal to work.
This isn't an Orginal....it is a 70 that I just finish. I took it to a plow day and pulled a plow:

70 has only 5 hours on it when it went to a plow day. I was impress on how well it pulled my 10 inch Brinly plow.

my problem is I don't have anywhere level enough to plow on my property. My grandpa keeps a 2 acre garden, but the Kub B takes care of it for now.

Don't get me wrong, I love to just go over everything in the garage over and over. There are still things I need to get tweaked, I just want an excuse to say I actually "need" to use it I'd like to find an old sweeper and a blade. The blade would be great, but I just don't know what all is out there for an original...

Well, I use my original for spraying weeds, pulling a roller, pulling a drag for the driveway, spring tooth, pulling the kids around in the wagon and a bunch of other stuff. I think cubs are as handy as a shirt with 2 pockets!

Lol randy, shirt with two pockets.Is that kinda like happier than a tornado in a trailer park!!

There are quite a few attachments you can use, and a lot of options you can add. Hydraulic lift, blade, plow, disc, trailer, loader, etc,......They did have a rear PTO, I'd love, love one just for cool factor, lol. But there was only a couple things it would run as it goes in a different direction than all other PTO driven equipment!

thanks for the suggestions... I've saw the guy with the danco loader on here... I would be in heaven with that, wouldn't have much of a yard left. I think my biggest problem is there is no one in southern WV southwest VA that has any old stuff. I've been told that everything listed above is specific to an original, stuff from a 70/100 won't work. Is that true? Does anyone have any sources for Original attachments? I can't really pick anything up, due to lack of truck...

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.
