Wow! That is definitely "tore down"!
I had a 1200 a while back. They're good tractors.

What did you use to strip the frame down to bare metal? That looks great! I am in a similar stage tearing down my 149 and I am having a time getting the coil spring pins out of the lift bar in the frame. Any suggestions?

Great start Diesel. What are the plans for painting that bad boy? Are you gonna go the HVLP route with a spray booth, or are you taking the rattle can approach. Either way, I'm sure its going to turn out great, but I envy you guys that have spray booth set ups.

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.
