Default Greetings from central Maine
Hello, I'm completely new to lawn tractors besides mowing lawns, but I'm going to be getting my hands on a model 100 soon and will be redoing it. Won't say refurbished or restore because I'm not shooting for a 100% accurate restore.

Things on the table is strip and repaint it all, most likely an engine swap, add a creeper gear, and plan on building the p f engineering loader and micro hoe for it.

Don't have the tractor yet, but wanted to introduce myself before I bug you all for help after I have it in a pile of parts and need help tracking down a hard to find part, or forget what goes where

Edit: the tractor I'm getting, besides a little surface rust, looks to be pretty solid. Can anyone tell me any info on that snowblower? Also, the mower deck has 3 blades on it, one large and 2 smaller, anyone know which deck that could be or would pics or more info be needed?
Updated with a pic of the mower deck.

A cub is worth as much as you are willing to pay for it they are well built strong reliable machines I have read many posts on here about others that own 100's and they all enjoy them greatly. The folks on this site are the best bunch of people that anyone could ask for . the knowledge that some of these folks have astounds me at times
I have a 104 that is a work in progress and would prolly not take 1000 times what I paid for it
Workin on it has become a passion NOT a hobby

As far as the deck is there any markings on it such as a small plate rivited to it if not more images of it would help these folks can ID it just by sight

I don't have more pics right now, but I just sealed the deal tonight on it so ill have more pics this weekend. The guy wanted 500, but I'm trading him a car dolly for it. I originally wanted to do a loader and micro hoe from plans on it, but I may need to get a differant one to do that to.... Not decided yet

What kind of cash am I looking at paying out to get a creeper gear in my 100? It's looking to me like 150+, but I may be looking in the wrong spots. Know this is the wrong place to post, but I'm not looking to buy yet, just getting a feel for what I'm going to have in to this project. And if I were to buy a manufactured front end loader, if i could ever find one, what would it cost for one made for the narrow frame?

Your price is about right on the creeper. There are several loaders made for NF's Danco, Johnson and Kwik-Way. Here's a pic of my son's 125 and Kwik-Way loader. I wouldn't have a creeper on a loader tractor tho, and I perfer a hydro over a gear drive tractor.

So maybe I should just redo the 100 and find another for my loader/micro hoe. I've never had a tractor, my year old bolens riding mower is the closest I've ever had. It came with the house I bought and realized it wasn't what I was hoping for.
How much would I be looking to pay for a manufactured loader for an old cub? I also read a guy found a Sears loader for 900 that could be fitted to our tractors with some fab work. I've been welding and fabricating for my whole adult career, be it only 8 years, but I'm not afraid of doing some homebrew parts. But on the other hand, I've only heard good about the p f engineering plans.

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.
