2072 resto mod
What started out as a simple clean and polish has turned into a resto mod on my 2072. I say resto mod because I am not going for factory correct restoration and intend to do some mods. I plan to set the 2072 up for gardening and yard work but no mowing. Got the engine cleaned and repainted. I am going to do a quickie spray on the frame and fenders.
Here are some pictures of the progress. Engine Pulled  Frame cleaned up  Some fresh paint on the engine

rkeithley, Thanks for the reply. Basically I just wanted the engine clean and $5 bucks worth of rattle can high temp paint did the trick. I plan on fixing this tractor just to play with around the yard. Speaking of engine temps I am thinking about adding a temp gauge and oil gauge just for a good mod anybody got tips on doing this?

oil pressure gauge
I took out my hour meter and replaced it with an oil pressure gauge. On air cooled motors the oil temp is really what you are concerned with anyway. I put the hour meter under the hood next to the oil filter. After all we don't actually watch the meter while we are running the tractor do we and I never figured out why we had it on the panel instead of oil pressure or oil temp.? Here are the pictures of my gauge and the fitting that sends the pressure to the gauge as well as the hour meter.
BTW, as the temp rises the oil pressure will drop to a lower level. I do not know what this temp is but on a hot day it never goes below about 35psi.

Rudy, Thanks for the pictures that whats I'm looking at doing. My hour meter doesn't work even though there is power to it. I think Ill do the same and move mine under the hood and put the oil pressure there. It looks like you added a fitting at the filter to supply pressure to your gauge? I will have to check oil temp gauges to see how that can be set up and located on the dash.
Update on progress. Did more cleaning on the frame and some further dis assembly. Sprayed the fire wall black. Sprayed the rear axle black. Sanded and primer-ed a few spots on the frame. Sanded the battery tray and sprayed it with black rubberized undercoating on the battery side and just black on the bottom.Started working on the fenders bending out some dents. Took some pictures Ill upload later.

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.
