My wife supports me with my cub addiction but when I proposed the new mods for the dodge she suggested I move one and I had to agree with that. Kinda stinks but such is life, thanks for all the replies though.

You can resurface it yourself.

Here's how I do it. A piece of plywood to secure the 600 grit emery (sand ) paper, a piece of window glass, a stapler and some water.

Use a circular pattern and check often to make sure you are pressing evenly.

Don't forget proper torque specs and correct tightening pattern too.

It's not hard to do, just watch your patterns as you make your circular motions. Clean the paper as needed too.

Use "modern" glass that is flat ( I grew up in a house that was built in the 1840's and the glass was wavy )

Good to hear the sleeve hitch adapter gets good reviews

You should always replace the bolts and studs when you remove the head. The fasteners have been through heat cycles and loose their tensile strength.

Grade 5 bolts????
I hope you are kidding. My first choice is Kohler bolts and them grade 8 bolts.

The grade 5s were put in almost 10 years ago and are still holding up great. Not saying it's right though maybe I just got lucky. If I ever have to pull it apart again I'll swap em out

Jeff, I resurfaced the head using your technique when I got back home and got the new gasket on. Put about an hour on it and so far so good! I briefly had it on the chopping block and my wife of all people said it was a horrible idea to get rid of it. It doesn't get many hrs put on it but don't think I could replace it. Thanks for help!

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.
