It's all good Ronnie. I wouldn't consider myself a purest per say, that's why it was called a "face lift" and not a restoration. Even at that the correct police had to come in and threaten me with fines and jail time...
That's what makes this "hobby" what it is, each person puts their own spin on their tractors. BUT if it's going to be a "restoration" it best be as it rolled off the assemble floor, or in some cases better... Or the cops will be cruising around your neighborhood.
At least your going to use yours, my "poor" tractor sits dry in the house.
Thanks Todd,
Before I buy a couple of those bits, what brand do you use? I don't want to mess up and get a cheap set. I would like them to last. BTW, I split the tractor last night and got the creeper installed. Now I only have to put all the rest of it back together. Oh, and still have to put my new clutch in.

I am done for now. See that little silver shifter? Can't tell you how much work that was. Now it just needs a good cleaning, hiding the wires and tightening some bolts.

Don't want to jump on Ronnie's thread, so go to page 945 of "What did you do to your cub today."

Believe me Todd, if I could get it in my living room, I would. I used to put my Harley in the house when I was a kid. Watch TV and admire the old Pan Head.

Yea, that creeper is a S$B to put in. You have to split the tractor, no way around it. The guy that told me you could just stand it on it's rear, obviously hasn't installed one? Too much stuff to stick in a small spot.

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.
