New to Cub Cadets! Nebraska
Hello all out there! I recently acquired a model 70 Cub Cadet -for FREE!!! Hope it is repairable! Serial number is 931109.
Engine is stuck but today I managed to get it to free up and turn. Now I'm going to remove the head and see how much rust and crap is in the cylinder and how much I'll have to hone it to clean it up. I suppose some rings would also be in order when I get that done. My goal is to get it running - and let the grand-kids use it to just run around on the place and have some fun driving it!! Nothing big for now! I'll post a picture in the next few days! One big question for now - Where is the starter???? It has electrics -generator and lights but I do not see a starter. Another question -Where do I get some tires for it?? The ones on it are pretty badly rotted! I found out how heavy this thing is when I tried to load it into my pickup by hand! A BIT TOO HEAVY for this old man! Any comments will be greatly appreciated - and also encouragement will be accepted for this John Deere guy!

Welcome Marv. Good to have you. Everyone likes pictures here so post some when you can. I'm assuming you meant the serial is 93110 as your serial has too many digits?

Don't mess with honing it and putting rings in. Overhaul it. It will cost you about $350- $400 to do it right. Or you could hone it and re-ring it and get 4 or 5 hours of enjoyment before it starts burning oil again. On the tires our suggestion is here: http://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/ But feel free to shop around.

Welcome from the NE corner of the state.
I agree with J-Mech on overhauling it. New rings are just a band-aid, it won't fix it for long. As far as tires go, it depends on how you want to use it. I've seen people make do with old car tires and some guys go all out with lugged. Miller Tire has a great selection of tires if you are looking for new. I think the cheapest I've ever seen a new tire sell for is about $50 so you might want to check craigslist for a cheap used set from someone who upgraded. As for the starter, the generator serves as a dual function being both a starter and generator when running.

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.
