Default dads 70 restoration page

ok guys i just picked up the lil model 70 roller frame with great sheet metal and a creeper drive but no engine or drive train, BUT i als scored a complete model 70 with the orig 7hp kohler and drive train in it as a doner as its sheet metal is shot sooo together they will become one awesome lil 70 tractor.

plans call for a full restoration with hydro lift kit lug rear tires tri rib ft tires and 3pt lift kit.

added rear fenders and full lights ft and rear, as a fun play tractor.... stay tuned for pics along the build this is gonna be fun....

QUESTION: im i missing something or is there a catch to get the hood open without beating it in the steering wheel???

if the hood hits the steering wheel then someone along the way had hit something with front end....this bent the frame rails slightly which in turn pushes the casting back and thus pushing hood back.... shim the rear bolt holes on the casting with washers or bend the frame back... they will more than likely be cracked and broken so be handy with a welder or know someone who is... welding washers on the underside of the bottom of the frame to reinforce the holes is another good idea... be careful tho is you weld zinc plated washers as they give off toxic fumes... if you have "Cub Cadet the first 45 years" there is a good right up all about that in there. good luck and happy cubbing!

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.
