Newbie 127 project
Hello all. Haven't posted too much because I'm new but I wanted to share some pictures of my latest project that I'm doing. I've done several vehicle and mower projects through the years (I wont say restorations because I have found out recently that the word means a lot more than I thought and these were no where near the detail that I've seen here!) but fixed up for myself or sold to make some extra money, etc. Call me crazy but now that I have a son, I really want to mow the grass with him on my lap and drink a beer and enjoy it. What better machine to get than a cub right?
I currently have a JD HD75 walk behind 54' deck with (sulky?) that I stand on and mow. I picked it up for free and rebuilt the right side hydro for 200 bucks and its been a good mower for a few years. Just have always wanted an older cub ever since I used to mow as a kid with a 982 and after seeing the throwaway stuff these days, I knew it was a good choice and I finally found one for a good price. So here are a few pics. My little buddy checking out his new tractor!   I originally was just going to take out the steering column because of the frozen steering wheel and no upper bearing left but i realized that after I got it running, the engine knocked bad and the PTO clutch was screwed up along with siezed set screws so I decided to go further.  I have a thread started in the engines section about my engine knock that I found to be a way out of tolerance crank journal thats .010" smaller than it should be. Just got the right puller from work so I can get the fan off to get the crank out.   Trying to figure out the year and with help I got on here I believe its a 1970 built in March/April? Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Engine numbers  Thanks for looking and any advice will be great since I am wanting to learn as much as I can, Alvy

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.
