Everyone's starting point for restorations are better than my finished ones!

Rat Rod tractors rule!



Good going Tyler!

Coming right along! Just a thought, but have you thought of just cutting that monstrosity of an exhaust off close to the block and using a pair of channel locks to take the last of it out of the block? Cant wait to see this one finished!

Don't worry, the exhaust is coming off. It is too rusted on for channel locks, but a 4 ft pipe wrench is in order.

Today I got almost all the exhaust off, the wiring harness, the Voltage Regulator, some engine tins, and a few other things.

The 4 footer seemed to do the trick. All except one piece that is threaded into the block, which it won't fit on because it is so close to the block. So a small wrench with a piece of pipe should work.

And, Thanks

I think the last thing I would want is a 6 foot pipe wrench on an exhaust pipe of a K-161. If you need that, you've got bigger issues...

Anyway, nice job on the Original. Looks like it will be a fun project for you.

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.
