One for mowin' and one for showin'!
My son and I picked up a 1715 a while back and we've been working on that for some time. I just picked up a mower deck today and planning on using it to keep the weeds at bay throughout the summer.
We went to a tractor show here in Central FL. and we came across a '62 Original, just waiting for someone to take him home. We worked out a price that was good for both parties and we loaded 'er up! The previous owner said he: Changed the voltage regulator and put on a new starter/generator. It has brand new AG tires (still has nubs on them) and he installed a pulling spring on the clutch and gave us the original one. It also has a larger pulley for the engine in case we want to go faster. It has a 10hp Kohler in it now, in place of the original 7hp. He said that he bought it so he and his son could pull with it. Then, they found a 70. He said he just rebuilt the rear with new bushings and seals. It has fenders and runs and drives great! There are a few bugs to work out. It wasn't charging when we got it home. I checked the wiring and the blue wire was mated with the yellow wire on the Field terminal, instead of the Armature post. I moved it and when I grounded the Field terminal, it started charging. I noticed that the generator was getting pretty warm, so I was glad to see that it did start charging again. I went through the tractor and found a bunch of loose fasteners and, it had a galvanized pipe exhaust. I HAD to get rid of that ugly exhaust! it has a few oiil leaks so gaskets are in order. I'm actually thinking of a re-power with a V-twin. We're not going to be mowing or anything so, I'm thinking of just using the crankshaft instead of the front of the engine on the V-twin. I know that will change the rotation of the engine but, I read somewhere that you can swap the differentials around to restore the proper direction again. Anyone know about this for sure? Anyways, I KNOW that if there aren't any photos, it didn't happen. So, I'll be getting some tomorrow to feed the need for photas. More to come tomorrow!

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.
