Default 1872 winter project
Dug into the 1872 yesterday, and went full out disassemble mode today.
I've got engine leaks out of every place possible... A lot of debris around the stator, but nothing in the flywheel shroud. So started by pulling the engine, then figured I may as well get the fenders off and see what's lingering under them.
Surprised it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Bonus, trunnion is in very good condition
Now to get a day above freezing to pressure wash the tractor. But in the meantime start disassembling the engine.

Your head gaskets are starting to leak also. We had a lot of leaking on these in dads IH dealership. I see the head gasket in your pic right next to the top oil line is wet that's not an oil leak

Grill shell painted, headlights and grill installed. Put the side covers and hood on to get everything lined up and get ready to move onto the fender pan...
Painted the grill shell with Cub Cadet rattle can, it's close but not a perfect match

Looking good,
Rustoleum almond is a perfect match,The hood can be a challenge to line up.
The wires for the headlights should be routed on top of the grill housing.
Good work and keep us posted Sir..

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.
