Well, that probably makes up for all the other metal that wound up in the dirt somewhere when the tractor was sitting all those years.

Definitely gonna get a few gallons of PB-Blaster for Christmas I see. But, except for those few areas where the northbound rust and the southbound oxidation met in the middle of the panel, I'll bet there's still a few areas that are pretty solid on the ol' girl yet. Will be VERY interesting to see what the INSIDE of that housing looks like.

Keep up with the pix, and thanks for sharing!
That's what I'm thinking. Because as of now it is stuck in neutral. It will not go in gear at all. For the life of me I can't get the roll pin out of the front axle pin. I broke the steering spindle trying to break it loose to get the front wheels to turn. hopefully by this weekend I will have it down to bare frame. The good news is I got the clutch pedal to move! Things are looking up!

Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes the bug. I think this ones the bug.
I wish you all the luck man. There's a ton of work needed on this tractor, I can understand the sentimental value of things, but..... If you see this project all the way through, your a better man than me.

I cant help but to go along with the friendly advice given on your current frame situation,.... and will probably end up with my foot in my mouth,...BUT, if a nice narrow frame pops up I would buy it to replace what you have. You can save your self a lot of work . But then again, you could have a Ace up your sleeve and I'll fold!

Here is my frame to my model 72 in it's present state. Waiting for spring to begin my build:





Good luck, please keep us posted in matter of your frame!

Default I've got some more work done today

I did some more work on the the 70 today. I removed the clutch, and unbolted the rear end from the frame. Next up is getting the roll pin out of the front axle pin to pull the front axle. I also need to find a good penetrating oil to get what ever is left of the bolts that bolt down the shifter. i thought about knocking the heads off and then worrying about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

might I suggest PB Blaster or Justice Brothers JB80

I've had great success with both. PB looks like they haven't changed the artwork on the can since the 50s and JB80 seems to wick into rust pretty well, if you give it time to work it's way in.

I've found that if you soak it several times throughout a week or so, it'll really help to break up the rust. Give 'em time to work their way into the rusty areas.

My service van has no less than 3 or 4 cans of PB blaster on it which is what my company supplies us but have been reading a lot on tests of all of them including kroil, liquid wrench, and it always seems a home brew of ATF and acetone wins out on penetrates. I've never tried it but always wanted to. I think you should try it Randy and lt us know. Good progress by the way, keep it up

Edit: good advice Andy, have you done any articles on penetrants in the past?

I was thinking of doing that exact same thing but wanted to make sure. I will pick up acetone and atf this week. Would that mixture eat a plastic spray bottle?

Thumbs up

Thanks, I have worked hard to have that frame. The folks at OCC have helped me in the restoration on my 72!

I'll sit out on the shifter plate cover, just be mindful of the fact that the transmission is cast iron, so be careful not to mess that up in anyway. I don't think I ever tackled, or seen anyone tackle a rusty situation like this. Show us what you got!

Woman's nail polish remover and ATF? I have been wanting to try that.

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.
