Thanks. I drove it around in the backyard a little. Tough to find neutral and stick it, which is kind of scary. In the homestretch now!

As I grow closer to completing my rebuild I continue to run into small annoyances that demand attention. There were door hinges holding the hood on, I bought a piano hinge to replace it but none of that worked - so I have an appropriate hinge on order. The cheap carb I bought wouldn't work because the choke was upside down - even though the tractor runs great with it. Anyway, after much effort I determined I could could take the choke arm out of the old carb and stick in the new one. Of course the screws broke off and one had to be drilled out and the other one put up quite a challenge too. But now the choke works. Applying the brake put the tractor in reverse and I couldn't get it adjusted right .... found the rod was worn quite bad so I have another one on order - hopefully I will get the adjustments right after it arrives. Meanwhile ..... it continues to sit and rest.

Small (and large) annoyances are what you learn from. The next tractor you do will go so much easier because your experience with this one will have taught you to look at all the fine details even as you are tearing it down. If you catalog your trouble spots as you see them coming apart, you can have fixes in place or replacement items on hand for a less stressful reassembly. The end is in sight, nice job.

Well, it's been about 6 months and other than a few tweaks I think I'm ready to call it done. Next cub project will be to redo the trailer. Rather than all white I think it will wear yellow fenders.

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.
