I've used an adjustable wrench to straighten them. They won't be perfect but pretty close.

You need two hammers, one for bottom one for top...the bottom one you hold against the top one you swing lightly and methodically...its all about how you place the bottom hammer during the swings...try it, off to one side or the other, youll get a feel for it...a dolly makes up for the bottom hammer, but for a spot you can get to so easy two hammers works better....little 2k primer, little fine filler, and youll have her straight as an arrow.....

Everybody begins at some point or other, so you can too! Have at it and see what happens--you will be surprised at what you can do if you first try. If you make a mistake, you can try at it again until you get it to your satisfaction.

That metal looks like it is stretched. If it is, you'll have to shrink it back with a shrinking hammer and body dolly the file it smooth. You can use heat too but I don't want to have to describe that process in writing.

The trailing edge of my 147 fenders looked about like that. Stand them up on a 2x4 and prop the tops against a wall or something. Adjust the angle until the back slope of the fender edges lays flat on the 2x4. Get a ball peen or smooth head hammer and pound the waves out. The ground and 2x4 gives a great surface to work against. Light taps, work up and down the trailing edge. Mine came out very straight.
Check the restoration link below, I think I included a shot of me doing this in the intro to video #1.

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.

That should be easy, with a dolly and body hammer.
