I wonder how hard it would be to locate a replacement frame? Or even make one?

We have cars with frames that look like that, but we have salt on the roads! I don't think I have ever seen a tractor frame that rusted. What was he into with it?

it was a little rusty when he had it 13 years ago. But after he died it sat under a tree covered in leaves. I'm guessing all of the wet leaves ate it up. its in pretty bad shape. I'm up for the challenge haha.

It sounds like there is a great deal of sentimental value attached to that cub. That left side of the frame is roached and will require a great deal of work to put it back. I'd find a donor for it (I know Florida doesn't have a cub cadet surplus, but it isn't an impossible task) and save myself a lot of extra work--dash tower, and cut pieces and weld them into your frame as needed. That way, you can leave the memories intact, while not rolling the hours on it. Just trying to offer a suggestion to save you some time. I like how you look at it with "new eyes" and see what it can be without just looking at it and seeing what it is right now. It's going to be a great cub and bring back a lot of great memories!!!

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.
