Hey guys. My name is Randy. I'm new to this forum. I've been into vintage and antique farm and garden equipment since I can remember. I recently acquired my late uncles cub cadet model 70. It is in really bad shape. Right before he passed away he noticed it had a rod knock. After he was gone my cousin took it all apart and pretty much left it. that was 11 years ago. I finally got the 70. I will be leaning on you guys for info and how to reassemble this thing since I didnt take it apart and there are parts missing left and right. From what my brother told me about the engine that it's a k301. Which I know is not original. The 70 is being brought to my house hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Any info on this machine would be greatly appreciated. Here is the picture my brother sent me when he picked it up from my dads ( I live three hours away.)

Randy :Welcome2:

Congrats on getting a family tractor. It looks rough but you never know until try. I've heard of cubs being found a tree line and with some work be put back into service. I hope you have that luck. If not we're here to help you.

Thanks Duke! :beerchug: Its definitely going to be work in progress. It might take a while. I need to source an engine and I would like to locate a deck for it. Aswell as other attachments.

Welcome to OCC Randy. Glad to have you here. :beerchug:

I am going to try my best at taking pictures when it arrives and during thr process of tear down and restoration. This thing brings back lots of memories. Especially of my uncle who was like my second dad. He taught me everything I know about mechanics. He lived across the street and I was over there everyday workin on stuff with him. Kept me out of trouble and made appreciate family.
