Hello everyone! My name is Randy and I'm from the small town of Sweetwater TN. I picked up my first Cub Cadet an 1862 at auction last weekend for the amazing sum of $350 ! It was intended as a backup for my big box store green colored pos that has become a money pit of late. Two days after I bought the Cub I found a frame for the green thing so I guess the Cub is my new toy
A couple of years ago my son and I were looking for a new project and just missed out on a sweet 782. I have had my eye out for another CC ever since.
The tractor was pretty straight except for the usual plastic issues around the grill shell. I replaced the relay to get the deck working and it seems quiet enough. I have a throttle cable coming and lots of adjustments to make but overall it seems to be a solid tractor.
My other projects are a complete restore of my son's 1974 Allis Chalmers 416 which will be mated to a really cool pull scraper we found,we also have a totally original Massey MF-8 that I need to do some ignition work on plus my sons and I are doing a total frame off restore on my 1972 Monte Carlo.
