Default Restored 149

Hey Guys. Just finished up restoring a 149. Picked it up on June 30 at an auction in Coal Valley IL. My cousin and I spent the summer bringing it back to life. Here is the finished product. Just wondered what you think. It was our first attempt at a restoration.

I think you did an excellent job! Get yourself a center piece for the steering wheel and it'll make it that much better.

I actually have the decal for the steering wheel, i just haven't figured out exactly how to put it on yet. I'm afraid the v-shaped opening where the steering wheel nut is might show through, or at least make the center of the decal weak. Got any suggestions on how to give it a more solid backing?

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.
