I like to power wash any Cub that I'm going to paint.



Tractor is disassemblied. Al the parts are check for wear and best way to remove paint.

Nonsandblast pile:

Parts after sandblasting:




Parts are primered with a sandable primer:

The grill was pushed back some. Someone drilled a second set of holes so the hood could clear the steering wheel.

Here is how the hood looks primed. There is only 1 hole on each side now.

White parts were painted first this time.

Awesome job. Wish that I had the know how to do that to my 127..

Brake is not working right on the 70 and the tractor is hard to push. I desided to drain the oil in the rear end.

This doesn't look good.

There was an half inch of junk inside the rear end.

Little rust on the gear shifter base

Now to repair the brake.
The brake linkage needs to be removed first.

Remove the front cover.

Remove big reduction gear. I used a impact to remove the center bolt.

Remove the 4 bolts holding the reduction housing on. Housing pulls straight off. The brake disc will stay in the housing.

Housing/disc off the rear end/trans.

Clean up time.

Thanks for the pictures. I really like the pop bottle idea.

The o-ring on this piston was the reason the brake was hanging up.

I will clean the bore the piston fits in.

The new o-ring is greased so it makes it easier to install the o0ring/piston assembly.
Trans/rear end clean.



New Gaskets for trans:

Service manual is needed.....some of the bolts need torque.
Trans going back together:

I like to paint the front and rear covers.
