Default Picked up a 1962 Original

As I near the completion of my 100 (http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=46757) I have been on the lookout for an Original. I was lucky enough to come across this one serial 26791 only a few miles from home. The clutch is apart in a box. The PO took it apart and then I guess decided not to complete the project. It is also missing the S/G.

I am excited to dig into this one when I get time. Just something about these old machines that gets to me. Guess I should see a Dr

Looks like it's got plenty of rear traction!
Congrats on your "O"

Thanks guys. Yes I need to do an inventory to see exactly what is missing. Engines turns over freely and feels like there is some compression with a subtle sound out the exhaust so hopefully nothing too bad with that. I will probably pull the head when I get to that to see what is going on for sure.

Yeah the PO, kept the narrow rears and just threw on a set that he had lying around. Good enough for now.

Zippy just went through about 1/2 your thread on your O facelift. Definitely my inspiration. Gonna be referencing that as I go I am sure. What you guys didn't see is my seat needs some attention and I am hoping I can do something similar to what you did.

Waiting on paint to dry on the 100 so I started to look at the Original. Decided to pull the head, probably a mistake, but it is done. All bolts came out fine except the one near the exhaust. The good news is it is about 3/8 proud of the block. Better news is piston and valves all operate as expected.

Looking for suggestion on getting this out. I can't get two nuts on so that approach won't work. Should I weld a nut on it? I heated it a bit and squirted it with PB blaster for now.

Thanks. There is some pictures of how I fixed the seat. I removed the bottom by drilling out the spot welds, then repairing the pan. Little extreme, but it was the "best" way for what it was.
If you want more pictures of the repair, send me your email, and I'll be glad to send more.

The same thing happened on my k161 recently...on the same bolt as a matter of fact. I tried welding just a nut with no success, but if you weld a washer to it first, then the nut to the washer, that should work. Good luck!

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.
