You can never have enough of these cool little tractors so put the car outside!
Hope you get it running soon.
Cars inside? Never happens. The tractors are in the storage building (22x30) and the 24x24 bldg is the workshop. There is more room in the storage bldg, just need to rearrange the place. No room for tractor storage in the workshop, it's full of woodworking tools.

By the way, the 72 started right up after I put a battery in it, changed the plug and added gas. It needs a tune up and carb rebuild, (and a muffler--the old one fell off) so that's the plan.

First attempt at a video on youtube:

Started working on the 72. This has proved more challenging than the others I've worked on this winter. Neither the steering wheel nor the front axle pin would give it up, despite my best efforts. Will let the PB blaster soak for a while and try again.

Pulled the engine to clean it up. tightened up the steering gear box (reground the follower stud) but had to do that in place since I couldn't get the steering wheel off. Need to clean the frame up (going to break out the pressure washer and give it a shot.) Found an old mouse nest on top of the transmission. Needs a new clutch disk, and the left front wheel spindle has some play in it where the spiral pin goes through the king pin. The plan is to wire brush the frame, hit it with some rust restorer, then prime and paint. Ordered new decals, will repaint hood, and am looking at a pair of fenders and new tires--ags on rear, ribs on front?

Some dis-assembly pics:

Yeah, they can be tough at times!
Be patient and keep hitting it with PB.

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.
