Thumbs up

I'm lovin' it. These tractors are a hobby to me, I am in no way a "gotta look original" kind of fan. I get a kick out thinking about our departed "purist" brothers spinning around down there when something appears that dosn't pass their sniff test. I base my likes/dislikes on the quality of the job and you sir, did one fine job. I have a 70 that I am working on and plan to debut late this late spring /early summer. I hope it looks as good as yours and wags as many tongues.

Default K341 fit in NF

As many others have already done, I utilized a K301 Flywheel, blower housing and bearing plate (have heard all arguments about cooling with 301 flywheel on 341...no worries) so no frame cutting/gussets needed.

I hand fabbed the air baffles out of 16g steel.

Had to seal off the oil tube-dipstick mount/hole on right side and utilize a cam cover dipstick set up as the S/G would not allow for proper belt. (would have to remove dipstick tube to replace belt)

Installed mechanical fuel pump.

All fit as if made for the NF

As for the color scheme...main goal was to get some tough paint on a tractor that will be used for work around here and prevent rust. As many may have seen from the pics, I have a CC71 in the background and may try a hand at "restoring".

I forgot to add that I rebuilt and installed a creeper for this tractor.

For those interested in some close-ups I will try to get them posted mid-week or so. But for now...

Default Fuel pump

Just though I would try something a little different. I kept the cover plate...so if it fails, it's a two bolt solution to fix.

I just enjoy working on this thing and trying different things is all.

New to cubs so just a little experimenting.

Hey gscott! Great to see someone new interested in the hobby. I am with J-Mech on liking to see the tractors original, but I, like the others, can appreciate your quality work. You didn't torch up the frame or molest the tractor (), guess that sounded bad, but that is how I see it. If you enjoy it, then that is all that matters!! Keep an open mind when you do something that others may not like. I would rather have people be honest with me than to patronize me with false accolades. Enjoy the hobby and welcome to the forum my friend. I am looking forward to seeing more of your creative work.

Looks like a fine job. Those pictures represent a lot of work and effort--which I hope pays off as you use it.

Thanks for sharing your project with us!

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.
