Now we're getting somewhere guys!lets keep the tips coming and remember that I started that thread on unconventional repairs remember you'll be helping out all us new guys with the info you share in these 2 threads.I've seen way too many hobbies or obsessions die an early death just because a Newb like me couldn't find info they needed or inspiration and quit because the felt swamped due to lack of information.
Thanks to all who contribute Leon

I don't think this hobby has a lack of interest. It just might take a little bit to find the info you are needing. I have been in the antique engine/tractor hobby for around 25 years and have never seen a lack of interest. Welcome to a great hobby!

HOW DARE YOU CALL THIS A "HOBBY"!!!
It's a sickness!!! It can completely consume a man. And will power is useless!!! The majority of us, can only take it one day at a time... One tractor at a time.... one more implement at a time..... It is only by the grace of God, that we are still sane members of society! :biggrin2.gif:

I am suprised nobody has mentioned take pictures and start your own photo library. I started that a few years ago and has become so very useful to me especially the older I get.
Books are a must, I also have in my collection complete manuals for the 7000 series tractors. I am not a pusher of e-bay but have bought some manuals that dealers owned that went out of bussiness. I also keep records on every tractor pull we go to. Keeping records and photos sure make it easier when we return the following year especially what worked and what didn't work. Pops

It is difficult to keep track of part #'s since many have changed multiple times. My local dealer has to cross reference several times to try to track down any part for one of the older cubs.
Electronic file libraries are nice to have! I also keep the files on a flash drive and take a laptop to the shop when working on a cub or just print the pages needed for the work to save the extra ink. Print obviously if the job is extra dirty and the hand cleaner is low! This sites technical library is an excellent place to start--wiring diagrams, paint #'s matched up, and a whole wealth of other info!!! Cub Cadet 123

Leon-
If you're looking for "tricks of the trade" here's one that's not covered in the tech library and can apply to any task. It's taking progressive pictures. I use this technique for almost all jobs requiring any lengthy breakdown. I can't depend on my mind like I use to and once downloaded the pictures give me a clear idea as to how things reassemble. It obviously requires a digital camera for instant review. I bought a Sony Cybershot a few years back and it has saved me many headaches. I simply download all pictures of a job and place them in a folder. That way I can go to that folder for all types of reference and review. Where it really helps is places like carbs that have multiple holes for "complicated" linkage and springs. I just keep the camera available and when I get to the next step I shoot from all angles. That way I can usually start with the last pic and just go backwards when it's time to reassemble. I'm sure that most have already heard of doing this. It is now one of my most important tools. It can also save time, money, and frustration on any job. I hope this helps. I only mention it now because I have heard little on using progressive pictures here as well as other forums.

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.
