Have been making decent progress on my 72. Rebuilt the PTO, driveline clutch, carb, changed rear end fluid and axle oil seals. Was prepared to replace the axle end bearings with needle bearings thinking the sleeve bearings might be worn. Not so, they showed little wear, so I opted not to pull the axle tubes.
Got most of the tractor assembled, except for carb, fuel tank and air filter. Discovered tonight that the gaskets were delivered this afternoon in the mail. I'll finish up tomorrow probably. I had a new pair of narrow front turf tires and wheels, so I put them on. (still thinking about a pair of tri-ribs) and a new pair of 10.50 Deestone ags are supposed to show up on Monday, so those will go on another set of rims on the back. I also picked up a pair of round fenders off ebay, so those with finish this restoration I think. More pictures once I get those items on. By the way, the black squares in the frame tunnel cover are not holes, I applied the instruction decals that came in my decal kit. Maybe not stock, but they look OK there. I hate to admit it, but two items stymied me on this effort. The first was the steering wheel. I was not able to get it off, even with a puller and two weeks of PB soaking. I suppose I could have cut it off or pulled out the torch to heat it, but that would have required replacing either the steering column or the steering wheel. Admitting defeat, I repaired the steering box by unbolting it and pulling it down and away from the frame so I could remove the cam cover and re-grind the follower stud, regrease, install a new cover seal and reassemble. Not my best work, but a servicable repair. Replaced all four of the tie rod ends. The second roadblock was the front axle pin. I could not get the spiral pin out of the pivot pin. I guess I could have gotten a carbide bit and drilled it out, but opted to not to do that as the axle was not too loose in the channel, so I left it alone. I might go back and do that, but, as they say, you got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.

Busy indeed. Well done. Thanks for the pics, I'm now seeing some more stuff that I'm missing for my 73 because of your pics, very cool. The end result is well worth all the work though isn't it?

Here are a few more pics and the running result. I am still waiting on the round fenders and the rear ags. You can really see how the Cub Federal Yellow has a greenish hue in the fluorescent lights of the workshop but looks better outside in daylight.

Here's a question. Should the dash of my 72 be yellow or white? I've seen both on a 72. It looked like it had always been yellow, so that's what I did, but now I've seen one with a white dash (top half of the tower). Which is correct?

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.
