Default Resurrection of the 85

Boy, don't know what I was thinking, maybe I wasn't. But we dragged the 85 out of the barn today, and I guess I'm going to try and make it a mower again.
Guess it would be nice for mowing under the tree branches, being it's nice and low.
Stared out today, getting the deck off, and now soaking the steering column, to remove it to get the body off. Then, see where we are from there.
Pictures, or it never happened...

I agree Beth, not bad at all! Hey Zip, are those genuine Cub supplied vise-grips on the height lever?

I’ll be waiting to see the magic happen! They are cool little mowers. Perfect size for my yard, but I’m on a hill. Had a MTD White similar to that and it was downright scary, needed a lot of work. I just use the 1812 now. Lol

Glad to see someone here showing those washtubs the respect they deserve. FYI, they will do wheelies! I used to love driving the washtubs out to the front of the dealership on Saturdays when I was a kid. Only thing more fun was jerking the hydro on a 782 into neutral when I brought it into the building--nice skid marks!

No, not these. I already had the rubber handle off, and needed to drop the deck to get it off, so the vise-grips were called on...
The things been sitting in the corner since I dragged it home, and got to thinking. Should I, could I, why would I? So, here it is.
The bigger question. Will it?

Those are cool. I have a green “57” out back I might work on some day. It was given to me and was in a creek flood. I only had to pull it out of poison ivy, ticks, and mosquitos.

Yeah, they are kinda oddballish. Guess that's what I like about it.

Just a little on what went down today. Got the steering wheel off. Tried the shaft and wheel together, but the shaft wasn't budging. So the "tub" came off to reveal a, let's say mess.
Pulled the cover off the engine to reveal another mess. Seems there will be more of them before I'm done. Some good news, it will turn over, spins pretty good, but, no spark.

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.
