1 1/2" wide blue tape all the way around and out over the sides and tread. Razor blade to trim around the outer rim. Actually goes quite fast and is easy to do. I don't even let air out. You can see on the tire where I dripped white paint before getting them taped over.....but it will wear off with use

That looks super! I think from my experience, that if you get the front tires, and mounted, having the thing on all 4 new tires will definitely boost motivation! You won't be able to stand seeing it that pretty not running!

Oh it's killing me like it is, but can only do a bit at a time. I have definitely learned patience with this project, which is a good thing. lol

I had wanted to get an hour meter for the 128 with the rebuilt engine. Lew posted one in the For Sale section and I was lucky enough to get it. Just got it in today. Thanks Lew. I am very happy with it.

Thanks Allen. That would be my laptop that I am not usually far from unless I am on the Smoker.

Default Nice 128!
DWayne,
Just took the time to review your entire thread! Excellent work on the 128.
Man your fenders and all the body work turned out nice.
How close are you to getting it running?
Regards,
Chris

Hey Chris, thanks for the kind words. In reality I am not far from getting it running in regards to work that needs to be done. In real reality the $$$ needed to get it running is going to take awhile with Christmas coming up. But, I should be able to get every last item I need and have it ready by maybe mid spring. I need PTO rebuild kit. Complete clutch components. New wiring. New decals. New tires. New seat. The normal odds and ends parts that have been forgotten.

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.
