A few more pics. Masking to put Herculiner on the footboards.
 1st coat done. I liked the footpads from the cyclops that go up the fender to protect from heels. So I borrowed the idea.  Finished product. The footboards are now encased in Polyurethane rubber with ground up car tire in it for traction.   Set some body panels on to get an idea how it will look.  There are a few pieces of the mule drive/deck frame hanging on strings for painting. Looks kinda funny in the pic.  My seat has a couple of small tears but nothing too bad. I wanted to spruce it up but didn't want to spring for a new $100 seat. I found this Cub Cadet seat cover at Home Depot. Even has some pockets in the back.  I hope to be mowing with my super again very soon! Dang but I'll hate to get it dirty now.

Not too bad!! Honestly when I seen the black I was kinda
 but the more I thought about it and the reason why you did it - it started to grow on me. It is a work horse, so its not up for the "picture purrrfect award". I think once you get all the panels on it and get it outside in the natural day light - it will be a pretty cool work horse. Definately unique in its own way. I think it will make people take a second look. Can't wait to see the repainted snow cab on it, bet that will look good. Then ready for snow duty! Nice to see you getting it ready before you freeze your hands off trying to assemble it in a cold garage! Keep up the great updates and work!

Today was a great day! I not only got my super finished. I actually mowed the grass with her. This was the 1st time I've run her since late winter. I had forgotten what a wonderful tractor these things are. Effortless power. And I was reminded how much I love my "Rat Fink" hydro lever.
The steering upgrades were worth every penny spent! She used to wander all over and I had figured it was the ram steering. NOPE between the v61 rib tires and the hiem ends, new spindle bushings, and wheel bearings this thing now tracks like it's on rails. Whether in the yard or FLYING down our road. 1st impression of the new Tru-Power AG tires was equally good. I tried to spin them on dewy grass and couldn't. Not even backing up the steep backyard. Same with the V-61s I couldn't make them push sideways in wet grass on the hill. Far superior to the old turfs. I took the pics in the high grass that was way overdue for a mowing and then mowed. No problem at all. I only have about 1/2 a season on the deck since it was completely refurbished last year with new Belts, bearings and seals, gator blades, and sandblasted and painted all over with EZ-Slide graphite paint. I did remove the metal chute deflector and it left a much better appearance to the yard. Before anyone screams foul let me note that my entire property is surrounded by at least 3 rows of mature evergreeans and that there are no children here any more and the neighbors houses are min of 3 acres away. Not much to hit or damage if something goes flying. Just the Tractor.          With the deck and 50lb wheel weights installed.    Apologies to anyone viewing with dial up. Enjoy I sure am!

Great job,
It will be nice someday when mine is done. Do you have any closer pictures of your hydro control lever ? It is sweet . Those v61's sure are mean looking

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.
