Found the original thread on it...It's a Kubota.

cub cadets always look cool painted up like the real farm tractors. id like to see more pics of that narrow front JD in the background too as those look sharp with narrow fronts. they look allot like the 3010-4020 john deeres.

I finished my grill today and snapped a few progress pics. The frame is sanded and ready for primer. The rearend is almost ready for primer. The fenders have most of the paint stripped off the top and are almost ready to be sanded and primed. When I tore the tractor down I found that the front axle had been broken in two and welded back together. I picked up another axle from mrcubcadet with 1" spindles, wheels, and a good set of tires. Thanks again Conner.

Great update and good call on replacing that axle. I'm am at pretty much the same phase you are in regards to my 147. The rear end is really taking some scraping, chipping, washing....doesn't seem to end.

It will have the factory decals but I will cut and place them like they are on a 66 series.

It will be painted like this.



This is painted up like an 86 series.



A 1466.

I tried to make mine look like cub cadets were available in red in white, but the tractor clone scheme looks cool too, I will keep an eye out for progress on your project....now quit reading these replies and get back to work (sound of whip cracking in the backround)!

LOL

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.
