Default Thank You

I would like to thank everyone here for helping me make my little original "prettier" than it was before. I started this project in July and worked as hard as I could until school started back up. During school I had no time to work on my cub because of summer sports. But they just got done a week ago and I've been working until my parents say "bedtime" sometimes I hate being a kid. My old man is busy all the time and my mom doesn't know a whole lot about lawn and garden tractors, so I did this solo, with some help with my brother and grandpa. Anyways, I bought it cheap and probably paid too much to get it like this. But it's all about the fun in my opinion, the clutch problem is fixed, the engine runs smooth. I'm kind of worried about what the muffler heat will do to the paint though has that bothered anybody here? Even though I'm just a teen, I know that people older than me are smarter, that's the reason I joined this site, after all if it wasn't for you guys, and Todds Original thread, this tractor wouldn't look like it is now. I look up to you guys. And I hope to have your skills when I'm older.
Ok ok, enough mushy mushy,
Here's before and after.
Thanks again you guys I had fun with this one,
I might even have a lead on another one too
God Bless,
Noah


If you want more pictures just ask.

Ya! That looks awesome. You should be proud. I did projects like that in my teens and it is a skill you will be glad you developed.

Wow Noah great job. Some of us have done an original and yours looks just as good and you should be proud of yourself. That's cool that you're a humble kid and gave props to some of the elders, that's a great quality to have. Nothing better than an early narrow frame with rear a gas and tri ribs up front. Share some more pics and details of the refurb like paint type and how you did certain things. Excellent work young man!

PS where did you get the missing mule cover from? Seems like most Os are missing them, xtreme sells a repro and they show up once in a while but not often

Thank you for your help Al,
Funny on the cover, when I bought it I made sure it was on their, in the before picture, I worked on the axle and took it off, to get straightened up again. It's the little things.

You should be very proud of yourself! The Original looks wonderful. I'm an old man and can't do as good as you did on the old girl. Keep the pictures coming.

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.
