Haha, no not finished yet. I ordered the wire harness material and picked up wire to make me a new wiring harness today. I scraped down most of the frame. I took the brake pedal off and the shaft has slots worn into it, not sure what I can do there.... Anyways, Thanks!

In another 50 years, that shaft could wear to the point of needing attention!

John, I totally agree with you, but I am trying to restore it to the best of my ability, the brake/clutch pedal has alot of slop in it when it is in place, just looking to minimize that.

You could always build up the shaft with a few beads of weld and belt sand it or draw file it down to size.

Great progress you're making
Question regarding your wire wheel. What are you using? I've had poor luck finding a "good" wire wheel for my bench grinder, they just don't last very long. I turn them every so often so they don't flatten down, and they also work better with less force once flipped, but they don't seem to go far before the wires start flying out.
When I was young, over at our company's shop, they seemed to last much longer, but I suppose like everything today, nothing is built as good as it used to be.
Sorry for jumping your thread, but any thoughts?
Thanks

Cory,

Nice progress!

Where did you get the braided nylon for your wiring harness?

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.
