Thanks! Napa Red Primer, Duplicolor School Bus Yellow. I'm going for nice, not perfect. I plan to continue to use/play with it.

I even left some of the original paint runs from the factory.

Good catch. I made a mistake on mine and sanded them out. Had to put them back in when I sprayed.

I am contemplating repair options.

Thanks for the compliments!
Welded mine up, worked most excellent...

The too short belt is what causes the pulleys to rub the axle!

the grooves in the axle wont hurt anything, you can weld them up if you want them to look better but if left alone i doubt it will cause any issue.

No more wear marks in the casting. I cleaned it up, welded it, primed, and painted it. If you look back at post #3, I had some pretty deep grooves in it.

Finally, got a little time and some parts. We put the creeper back together with new seals and a new input bearing. Here is a picture of the progress. Now my son knows how snap ring pliers work and what they are.
FYI, I found some of the o-rings at a pool supply store, he had a great selection. The steering rebuild is next.

Good to see him helping out.

Snap ring pliers can be challenging at times, have you taught him proper use of the "universal adjective" yet?

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.
