wheel refurbishment
I picked up a pair of CC rear wheels a week ago from an old family friend who used to work on CC's when I was a kid. I guess that's partly why I'm fascinated with them today. Anyway, I went there with the intent to purchase them but he told me I could have them because he would just end up giving them to a junk man anyway. All it cost me was about a 30 minute visit talking with a 79 year old man and I think that was payment enough for him. Man how things have changed in my old neighborhood where I grew up. I digress.
I started stripping the layers of paint this weekend and here are a few pictures. When I was buffing the old paint I noticed there are some numbers stamped on the rim along with rim size and "Firestone". Are any of these other numbers the date of manufacture? I forgot to take pictures of the finished painted wheels but I'll do that today. Luckily the rims were in excellent condition and only had surface rust.

My manufacture date was labeled on the inside of the rim, where the tire goes over, on the main hub of the rim of my 10.5's. Nice resto by the way!!!

Thanks! When I first saw the numbers I thought they were made in April of '66. Of course I have nothing to base that on, just a hunch. However, if that is the case, it's pretty cool that they would be that old and still around and now I have them.

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.
