Haven't posted to our update lately so here goes. So far we have rebuilt the S/G, the clutch, and the work on the rearend. There was an auction locally and we went as there were 10 cubs for auction and a whole yard full of parts. We did pick up a grill, a steering wheel, and a couple of other parts. We are still kicking ourselves for not taking most of the pile as I got the bid for 10 dollars a part for as many parts as you wanted. Talk about being stupid or as we prefer it, tunnel vision. We have nearly everything repaired on the O except for front wheel replacement. Last night we dug out the 2 O front wheels we got in the original deal. Both tires needed to come off the rims and as anyone knows that can be an ordeal to get accomplished. The tires were extremely dry rotted. Infact I think the dry rot had dry rot. Both tires had tubes in them so we did not just want to cut them off. I have entertained an idea for several years of how to get tires like these off without a sore back and bruised knuckles. Here is my redneck approach to breaking the bead. It involves the wheel, a 3 foot 2X4 and a very heavy weight. The weight was sitting in the driveway. We placed the wheel on the driveway, the 2X4 on just the tire and drove my silverado up the 2X4. Even that did not pop the tire loose but with a few hits with a hammer it worked. Sorry that we did not take pics but could do a reenactment if my explanation is not good enough. This may not work if you use a Ford though.

The old "O" runs. EricR uses it to putter around the yard. One day the motor will need rebuilt but that and a tear down for painting is taking a back seat to other cub work. It is truly amazing that these old machines would have stood up to normal use much less absolute punishing use for all these years and still are ready for more. My hat is off to the engineers of these amazing machines.

That's really great, and I know exactly what you mean about the amazing longevity of these little machines. My O is totally ugly , rusty, pitted 3 or 4 different colors, but was completely fixable by someone who had never been inside a Cub...me! It had been "rode hard and put away wet" ...literally... out in the woods for years and years.
But it runs...and now starts easily and reliably operates (and now...STOPS) and has become my favorite cub to scoot around the yard with, trailer in tow. As old as I am, I shouldn't enjoy running it as much as I do... but I do! Congrats on the O! John

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.
