Looking good with the bling
Ok, maybe. But I'm doing it pretty much one handed at times, and hanging on with the other so I don't fall out of the chair, it's a drag for sure
These NF's don't leave alot of room for anything, plus I'm being extra careful so not to scuff up the paint.
But you're right, going to the dentist isn't fun.

Looking GREAT

John

PS: Any leaks when you hoist the front like that or is the trans empty?

Re-fabed the seat mounts. I had a problem with the seat rubbing the fenders before, so a little extra height took care of that.
Also, what are the reflectors supposed to be finished like? I got the rust off, but have nothing (clean) to compare them to.

Great close up detail shots of the sweet 100!

I used acorn nuts on my #40 box blade and love the look they give and it's great not having threads to snag the pants legs too. Awesome work Todd!

No leaks, but everything is empty.
But I always do the same with all my tractors to clean out the grass in the decks. Just don't raise them up from the back.

Once again. Does anyone know what the finish should be on the reflectors?

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.
