I agree with Marks logic. To add to it, you'll probably learn some skills on the first one that will make the second one look better.

Ah, triple reverse psychology! (reverse double....). Doesnt work that well for myself, since if left to drag out it can take more than a Winter to complete.

Save the money you will spend on a restoration and buy another Cub!

Since they both will be workers when finished, I would restore the one that you like LEAST first... That way when it is finished you will be more motivated to restore the "favorite" of the two. If you save the favorite until last, you may just end up getting them both done this winter.

Good luck in whatever you choose and please keep us posted on your progress.
Agreed! If you do your least favorite first, you can learn to correct your mistakes and do better on your more favorable tractor. Somebody else already said that........

This isnt gonna be my firat one and to be honest its gonna be more of a restore mod. Simple things like I so mounts and stuff will be changed out. Prolonged the clutch up slightly they will be workers but even with the money I spend on both of them I prolly couldn't buy a new one these days that will last as long

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.
