In one of my earlier post I talked about wanting to save the original bolts that came off the tractor. I was really impressed that most were stamped with the IH logo. So after some research I built a zinc plating tank. It works really well. Through trial and error I got the process down. Its quite easy, just time consuming. The bolts have to be de-rusted, I did this soaking them in vinegar, then wire brushing them on a bench grinder. And before putting in the tank a good cleaning with a degreaser. A couple of pics to show it happened.

After vinegar soak.

Thanks Todd, time in the zinc bath depended on the size of the bolt. I set it up where I could hang 3 or 4 at a time, then I would keep a close watch on them when the color seamed right I would take them out. The larger ones would take more time than the smaller ones. It was mostly trial and error until I got the voltage and amps to where it produced the best results.

Yeah I know some would say why? I just wanted to see if I could do it, and I want to use as much original as I can.

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.
