Smile My First Restoration on My first Tractor- The "O"
Tore apart the O last night and took some things to the sandblaster. I got the motor taken off and put aside as not to be used(10hp). I got the tires dismounted and the rims blasted and primed today. My buddy is doing some work for me on the steering tower(someone tore up the steering adjust screw area and it was an ugly hole and not a half moon anymore). I also blasted and primed some other misc parts.

Thanks John. My buddy Brad has restored numerous tractorsninhis collection and he's been a huge help. Also, as part of my business we have a San blast set up and 2 paint booths. This makes things go pretty quick.

I will try to update often and post pics.

I think we are going to restore a #2 cart along with!

looking good! I'm not sure how many people know this, but a lot of the bolts have the IH "man on a tractor" logo on them. For the rear wheels, I think they're zinc plated if you're going for a correct resto.

The restore is off to a great start!

All of the bolts were zinc plated but got painted over execpt the lug bolts those were left in their zinc state. The engine bolts are not IH stamped. To me seeing the carriage bolts with the IH logo is the coolest but those can be worn down easy with use.

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.
