One thing leads to another!
I had a couple of fixes I needed to do to my 1872 Super. Replace the broken rock shaft, replace leaking gasket in the hydro to trans again, new tires which lead to having to clean and paint the rusty wheels.
Which lead to new front bearings and steering spindle bushings. So why not pull the front axle and clean and paint that. Trans is coming out and it's hard to get to rock shaft and I had to fix the wiring in the dash. So out comes the fuel tank. Well the motor is only 6 bolts so out it comes. Might as well get the dash tower out of the way which gets all the hydro lines clear. Plenty of room to work but everything is dirty and rusty. So I stripped everything off the frame Knocked the broken shaft out of the rock shaft assembly. It came out quite easily. Today I degreased he frame. removed the rust with a wire wheel and grinder and put a fresh coat of primer on it. How far I'll get painting I'm not sure. I may just do the frame and axles for now because the sheet metal is easy to pull and may need the tractor real soon. I love to look of the red tractors so I'm thinking I may try to copy that with late model cub yellow instead. Solid color yellow without the white. I'll probably paint the cab yellow as well. I'm going to replace the worn out rubber treads with DIY bedliner with ground up car tire in it. Same for the pedals. Won't be a job for the purist restorer types but will still be a Cub in yellow. Not much hat I own tends to stay stock for long including the Cub.

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.
