Restorations past.
Here are some restorations from the past 8 yrs. Each tractor is stripped down to the bare frame and everything documented and brought back to manufacture specs . Within logical parameters. The Wheel Horse lawn ranger had a tree growing through it, no engine and a bridge rectifier charging system. But in the end it went to a museum. The 73 series was my son's senior project. The 105 was just a sweet piece to do. The Deere was a nightmare with all the belts. Never again.

Oh yeah, these restorations are so time consuming, that I might do the 127 then I'm done. No more. This time I mean it.

EagleKeeper,
Do you consider those restorations, or refurbs? I know you posted on this topic a while back. Just curious since there are several things that, by your previous definition, would keep these tractors from being labeled "Restored".

Mechanically they are restored. All new engine rings, valves,pistons,rods, carbs rebuilt or replaced. All new bearings, pulleys, mower deck spindles. Visually as best as could be done at the time. Some seats not available nor decal kits ect...
The Deere I had no interest in restoring. It was an experiment not to be repeated. The Lawn Ranger, very few parts available. It took a year to find a set of gears for the gear drive mower deck. Impossible to find decals and it was before the computer age. Are they Concours d'Elegance ??? No.

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.
