Default Original restore x2!
I picked these two up this past Sat. They are not mine but I will be restoring them for their owner.

They will both be powder coated. I found a local place that does oil rig parts and it's a prefect match for CC yellow! Engines and clutches will be painted but every thing else will be powder coated.

I've got parts ordered and lots of work to do. One is currently in running order and will be torn down this weekend. The one without the hood will be in running order this weekend.

More pics to come of this whole process!

My first question is how do I make it so the hood latch (circled in red) not scratch the powder coating? It holds the hood firmly but to good. I would hate to put all of this time and energy into these and scratch the powder coating the first time I close the hood.

I forgot to add every nut and bolt will be removed from both of these. So I guess you could call it a frame and bolt off restore.

They used to make a rubber coating gel that you could dip the handles of your tools in (like pliers) and it would restore the rubber grip to it and you could control how thick you wanted it. I have even seen it at Wal-Mart before, but I forget its name. You could rubberize them, though I don't know how long that would hold up....at least for a while.

Default Good idea
Plasti-dip

I've used it before and it works well. I know its available retail, though I can't recall where I got mine.

Alternately Lowes sells a selection of clear flexible tubing...a short piece of which can be slipped over this point to protect the hood. I use it on the tabs on top of the cast iron grill frame that rub the bottom of the hood on my 123.

A dot of 3M weatherstrip adhesive ("yellow peril" in the car trade , as it REALLY sticks to stuff) holds it in place.

Great to finally see the twins Duke!

John

Or, you could drill a small hole and install a rubber donut like the later cubs had.

Good idea's! I'd have to remove some of the material to allow the extra space of either ideas.

Thanks!

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.
