Cub Cadet 73 Restore
I have just recently got a cub 73 and I am going to do a total restore. The first problem I have is I cant get the steering wheel off.
 I have a puller on it and have been spraying pb blaster on it and checking on it every couple of days it still hasnt loosened if anyone has a better idea I would love to hear it. I would also like to get some feedback on the 7 hp kohler, do they provide enough power if running properly? Im not going to mow probably just plow snow.

willy1430,
There are several pictures from different Plow Day events with 7hp s flipping sod with the biggest out there. Merk has a 70 that does a beautiful job plowing. Of course it doesn't hurt he knows what he's doing.:biggrin2.gif:

Congrats on your 73. I also have a 73 and have used it to mow grass, pull a wagon full of firewood, plow my garden, till my garden, and run a 36 inch snowthrower. It has the creeper on it. In tough soil, the tiller bogged the tractor down a bit, and with heavy snow it bogged down a bit also, but it never stopped going. The 73 is a tough little tractor with it's 7hp engine. Good luck with yours. When you restore it, post pictures...maybe it'll inspire me to do my own one day!!! Jason

Here are two 70s both pulling 10 inch plows.  The first one is me. I was able to pull the plow 4 to 5 inches deep in 2nd gear. The rear wheels where spinning....need more weight on the rear tires(no fluid in tires). I had no wheel spinning in 1st gear. A 7 horsepower motor will do a good job plowing. Don't expect to go to the races when you pull a plow.

I recognize those pics. Red power roundup 2013, such a great few days. I agree on the plowing; it's meant to be slow, steady and thorough.

I have tried to remove the steering wheel on several of my machines. Forget it. I have soaked with PB, done the knees under the wheel, hit with big fewking hammers, everything I have to use I have tried and not one has worked. If I tried any harder the machine would be destroyed.

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.
