Cub 73 revisited
Folks,
I have been busy with big tractors lately. But this little Cub has been calling my name. It has set in the shed for several years after I purchased it from my uncle. I thought I had posted some pictures just could not seem to find the thread when I searched? Anyway this tractor had a flat on front and rear and would not start. The engine (a 8 hp) is due for a rebuild as it is a real misquito killer. The battery was junk so I picked one up at NAPA. Drained the gas and checked for spark. Found the ignition wire was bad (shorting out) So replaced that, back to good wire in the harness. Fresh gas and it fired up. The rear tires were some I picked up as spares I like the big fat ones with the round fenders. So The future is yet to be seen. Engine rebuild? Maybe a clean up and paint too. We will see. Just thought I would post some pictures.      Regards, Chris

I gotta agree with Lew (and you all know how that makes me crazy) If the paint on it is original, I'd leave it that way, they're only original once.
If you don't feel the need to use it right away, keep your eyes peeled for another engine, or rebuild the engine in it if you like. I got a sneaky feeling that Lew knows where there is a nice running non smoking engine for it that could be had.

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.
