Thanks, Hy-tran it is. I'll pick this up over the weekend.
More Pics to come. I've got the remaining federal yellow parts painted this week. Still have to do the foot pads and the steering tube with black. Hopefully I'll get the engine in tomorrow, even with the heat index which is suppose to be a killer..... Question about the deck. I had planned to take this apart along with removing the bearings, wheels and rollers, have it sand blasted and start from bare metal. Since the deck will get the most amount of abuse, I planned to prime and top coat with a paint which I have experience with is a marine based paint. The color of choice is Oyster White, but is this staying with the correct color. I know it's not 901 white, but the pics I've seen have all white decks. I"m seeking idea's ?

Reached a small snag in this rebuild. It appears the IH / CC used press zerk fittings on their tractors. The two front axle ones have been replaced, drilled out and tapped for a stainless 4-28 zerk. For the steering column I planned to replace the zerk in the same fashion, but it appears someone tried to do this before and it never worked. Currently the hole for the zerk is to big for a 4-28 fitting. I have an order in for helicoils which have not arrived yet. I'm not new to doing a helicoil job, but has anybody on the forum done this on a steering head ? There doesn't seem to be allot of aluminum in this area to drill and tap where this zerk is to go.

The original zerk fitting had long since fallen out before I bought the tractor, so I tried to install a 4-28 as was used on the front axles. Didn't work ! Someone had already been into and tried to fix this. I ordered heli-coils and the wrong size arrived. I solved this with harbor freight set of zerk fittings. Had to tap the hole and clean all the shavings afterwards but the new zerk went into place.

Next was to start rebuilding the steering head. I had decided to install all new parts. Yes, there is a part for a green tractor in one of these pics. JD used the same Ross steering head. In trying to source these parts, suppliers including the listed sponsors didn't have any. I found an old stock JD part which I knew would fit.
As for the bearings, I pre-coated the races with grease so the ball bearings would fall out of the holder . (Don't ask me how I know this !!!!). The steering column turns smoothly. You can see the new bearings in place

Seek collective wisdom. The end cap on other Ross steering heads which I've rebuilt have used a cotter pin which slides in hole drilled in steering head locking the end-cap nut in place which also secures movement of the bottom bearing.
This tractor doesn't have this cotter pin or the hole drilled in the housing. What is a good way to secure this cap in place ?

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.
