I completed an overhaul of my 108 late last year. Here's what I did (for you to consider)
engine overhaul, rings, piston, bearings, seals
points, plug, plug wire, condenser
new fuel tank (mine started leaking through pinholes when I cleaned it up)
steering gear overhaul, bearings, seal, follower stud,
Drive clutch disk, throw out bearing, clutch actuating bracket pin, clutch spring, teaser spring, drive plate sleeve bearing, new spiral pins.
PTO overhauled--bearing and collar, clutch disk, clutch springs
front wheel bearings
tie rod ends
axle channel squeezed tighter
new axle pin
change rear end oil
new neutral safety switch and spring actuator
new battery cables
new rear lights (previously had reflectors)
Clean and paint most parts, but not a show quality job
I did not split the tractor.
Check your brake pads, might need those.

Good luck--its a fun project.
Took me about 6 weeks working evenings.

6 weeks thats pretty good. My guess Is I can get the tractor tore down in 4-5 hours baring any major issues. another couple hours to tear down the engine and figure out what it needs, 20 hours of prep work and about 6 hours of painting. another 6-8 hours of assy.

Mine currently aren't leaking. I wasn't planning on splitting the tractor to do this I was going to leave the frame and rear end attached. As I said this isn't a full resto and aside from the motor and the steering its in pretty good shape (spent a long time in a barn according to the PO)

Are any special tools needed for this?

Working on the clutch spring can be interesting. I used a woodworking bench vise to hold the shaft vertical, then tapped it down with a hammer to compress the spring. You will need a few pin punches, gasket scraper, other common tools. A parts washer would be nice, but I used a bucket and some paint thinner. Lots of dirty parts to clean, prep, and repaint. Allow plenty of time for that, and replace the decals. I forgot to mention that.

My brother has a parts washer so I guess I will be borrowing that. Would a car spring compressor work for the clutch. I've got one of those

A car spring compressor won't work. I have one of those, too, but it's too big to deal with the clutch spring. There are instructions in the service manual how to use a vise. There is a special tool available sold by some of the sponsors of this forum, but I haven't found a need for it. But I only did one job. If I were doing a bunch of them, I might "spring" for the tool.

What is the current condition of the paint? You can save yourself loads of work by recognizing the differences between sealed paint and places that would be best to sand down to bare metal.

I would replace the gear oil, true up the drive hubs and replace the clutch disk. Good luck!

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.
