Cub Cadet 108 Restore!
 
Hey guys and gals i just bought my first tractor at the age of 16 for work but it needs work.

Not everything will be original and the right parts. My plans are:
*Kabota Deck Modded to work (because my 108 deck is rusted out)
*All New Paint
*New Decals
*Agg tires in the rear
*Kabota Seat
*Possible Kabota Steering Wheel
*anything thing else anyone thinks I should add feel free to post.

DAY 1
I got it in the garage and it was stuck between two gears and wouldnt move

Started to strip it
