wow, Is that a sweet looking machine. You definitly have a keen attention to detail. I love restoration threads like these, being musclecars, tractors or what have you. Realy makes you appretiate the total work that goes into a project like this. I wish I took half the pictures you did when building my Roadrunner.

Wow, thanks to everyone for the kind words, but like I said, it's a three foot paint job. I doubt I'd win any trophies, but I'm not scared to use it.

Well, it's finally done, or at least done for now. I have a CV driveshaft that I might put in, but we'll see how the 2000 series holds up. I imagine I'll swap in a cast iron trans case if/when the time comes. There's little I'd do differently, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I do kind of wish I had taken the tin work to a body man for real paint and dent repair, but then I'd be afraid to do anything with it. A correct three point and PTO would be nice, but then I'd need a tiller. A small part of me wishes I had plumbed in one of those little IHI turbochargers, and a triple spool hydraulic valve, but I don't need either for what I'll be doing. Etc., etc., maybe in a year or two I'll do some of these things just for fun, or perhaps I'll pick up a zero turn and she'll be free to lose the deck and do other things.

Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone once again, and share another discovery I've made. The battery cover/hold down from a 1415, 1620, 1720, etc. looks similar to what is supposed to be there, and MTD still offers one of the rods. I ordered two, and will report back on my findings. I can say the cover fits nicely over my U1L battery, but I'm going to need to open the battery cable hole up a bit.

Well anyways, I'll shut up and post some pictures. Here they are:

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.
