So through a little more digging I found this thread from the last owner. https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ad.php?t=35498
Even through that thread, there is some confusion on what this thing is. He believes it is a 70 with 8HP engine. Either way it’s neat. Just trying to figure it out so I can know which parts and such to buy.

Thank you and @jakespoon for your unsolicited opinions. I thought this would be a cool site with guys wanting to help me get a tractor going for my son. I guess it’s just a bunch of whiny liberals that want to tell me how to spend my money.

The Kohler K-161 (7HP) engine was/is replaced by the Kohler K-181 (8HP) engine. Thus, a model 70 could have an 8HP engine.
Again, the Kohler Engine Model Tag will tell all.

Thank you Roland. I will check it out in a couple days, when I get back to my granddads house to work on it. I believe the tag is missing, but I will take better pictures.

When you spend time with your children is a priceless time that they will always remember and so will you. It’s your machine , do what you want. The look of his face in the pictures shows he’s happy with your purchase. I know you both will enjoy the journey . There are good resources here and a lot of knowledge. Have fun.

The Model 70 & 100 are identical, EXCEPT for their engines.

Thank y’all! This engine will need some work. Tractor came with two spare engines. They need work but are bigger. I will probably rebuild those and try to install here.
Having an issue with spark right now. Waiting on parts.

IIRC the 70's had an acorn nut and the 100's had a plastic cap on the steering wheel. That looks a little big for a 7HP air cleaner cover but ya never know what the PO did. Nice little tractor, enjoy.

You are correct, my opinion was unsolicited and I should have kept it to myself. I did not mean to ruffle your feathers. I apologize, enjoy the site. Definitely not a whiny liberal here, whiny conservative but not a whiny liberal.

Enjoy your tractor with your son. Many memories he will never forget.

Edit, sorry if I made any whiny liberals mad. just trying to be funny.

Dammit diesel. Now I like you. Hah. Let’s all enjoy this. Thank you, I just want to do what my son wants to do. I respect your love for these machines, but more than that I respect my sons love for cool shit. Hah.
He likes anything with a motor and wheels but he fell in love with these tractors at the pull we went to.

Hopefully new points will be in, in the next day or two. Hopefully we get this thing
Running soon! I picked up new tires yesterday. 23x10.50-12. Should look great on the tractor.

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.
