Looks awesome! Did you clean the paint off the axle housing before you put your axle tubes on? I think it will leak over time if the paint is still on there. Same for the rear cover plate. I don't think the tire chains will work to well on the AGS without slipping between the lugs on the tires. They look great!

Don't mean to be a downer just don't want to have to tear it back apart and redo it when it could be done with less work now.

Duke, I though the axle tubes never see oil unless your axle seals fail? Also, we did leave some paint on the gasket surfaces here and there, but I make my own gaskets out of thicker gasket paper and then use a gasket sealer on both sides - have done many this way and never had a leak. I custom cut the chains to fit tight on the tires when deflated so that once they are inflated, you can hardly move them. I'm sure that most of the links will work there way in between the lugs, but have had great experience in the past doing it this way (no need for bungies to pick up the lack in loose chains). Looking forward to seeing my boy push some snow! Cheers.

Another solid day yesterday. We installed a new custom arrangement of bushings and thrust washers into the front wheels as well as tubes Deestone skins. Assembled the steering linkage with new heavy duty hem joints. Put on the steering column and a few other little bits. The coolest part of the day was installing the restored 70lb weights, they look awesome (at least we think so...)! The dash assembly is painted and ready for application of decals, but sadly we are still waiting for the steering column grommet to arrive...

It does have the adjustment hole for the steering on the right and the S/N is in the 45,000's I think....too lazy to go out into the garage and check.

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.
