That hood and decal set look great from here! I would balk at painting the hood and replacing the decals. I can agree about keeping a tractor in original condition, but in my opinion I can justify painting the transmission tunnel cover and including a new sticker. If the farmer had already spray-canned the tractor and you think you can do better, do it!
The 129 looks great!

just dont fall into the trap of making it so shiny and pretty that you are afraid of using it as a tractor.....

Buff that hood out and keep it waxed, it will look good for a long time and still retain its integrity.

So now I did it, it just kept coming apart. I couldn't see putting all those fresh painted peices back on this frame. Going to paint the frame and see where it goes from there. Only thing I know is I am not going to paint the hood. going to take a while with this cold weather, hope I remember how it goes back together

The hood looks good in the pic. As we all know pics look 100x better then standing in front of it seeing all that you can't see in pics. I restored my 582 a few years ago to show and shine. I love it and still use it all the time. From plowing and tilling my garden to pushing snow. Only thing i dont do is cut grass with it. I hope to have all my cubs painted someday. And I'll use all of them.

My O looked halfway decent at first glance but I am doing it over..
The engine looked OK.. : ![]() But after taking the tins off I found a big problem, namely that mud daubers had filled the fins up with their mud. Here is a photo of the engine after I got most of the mud out: ![]() It is cleaning up nice. It has good compression and has never been apart so I will leave it alone for now and see how it runs. I have all the tins bead blasted and ready for paint. If I had left the O alone and not done a restore I might not have found this problem which is one of several I have found along the way that I would not have if I left the O as it was found. PS.... That is my kitchen table it is sitting on.. ![]()

I know the feeling. My 107 has apparently been repainted at some point in it's life, and that paint started turning black, so someone repainted something like Lemon yellow, and painted the rims as white as they could find. Now all that paint is flaking off, revealing the darkened yellow paint under it, which itself is flaking off and revealing the original Cub Cadet yellow.
I wish I could hit "undo" a couple times and get back to the original paint and be done with it. That stuff is still in good shape. Oh, they put new decals on the tractor too. Right on top of the old ones.

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.
