Thanks for the kind comments everyone. This has been a fun project so far, and Greg has been great, agreeing when something is found that needs repair or to be replaced. Stay tuned, I'll be posting more as the project rolls along.

Doc, I look forward to the updates and greatly appreciate the detailed pics. I have a rough 1572 that I have been tinkering with here and there as I find time. I plan on stripping everything down and making it look like new come spring/summer.

It looks like you are only a few hour ride on I-86 from me too, LOL ! Beautiful work.

Spent some time cleaning up the front axle and replacing the worn tie rod ends. Cub wants a ridiculous amount of money for the rod ends at between $40 - $64 EACH!! I bought these replacements from McMaster Carr with and average price of about $12 each. Big difference! I also installed new rod ends on the power steering ram, and found a bad hydraulic hose. The owner has a good one so I can keep moving. As soon as I get the frame painted, all these sub-assemblies can be hung on the new frame. THAT will be some progress!

After talking to Greg, he has decided to have me paint the tractor while the tractor is apart for mechanical repairs. So, I got out the Landa and gave the frame a good bath with degreaser and hot water. Luckily it was in the 40's here today. The frame is spotless, now to start sanding.

It will be in better shape than when I got it in 1998.

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.
