Guys, if Your going to go to the trouble of stripping down one of these fine machines and painting it ........... For goodness sakes "USE THE CUB PAINT" !!!!!!! Spend the extra 15 dollars and buy the right stuff. Anyhow, that is not a restoration. Restoration means taking out the clip board and compiling the deviation from factory specs. The obvious, head gasket leaks, tie rod ends, brake wear, tire rot, carb throttle shaft wear, front axle pivot point shimming, hydro control spring wear and swash plate input shaft leaks. Clutch and brake adjustment . The thing with most of these older Cubs is .....the thing that should wear out the most wears out the least. These old single cylinder engines just run forever and ever. They are a stone ax and a tribute to American ingenuity !!!! You all have fine machines. There are a few modifications that have been added to some Cubs here that I don't understand. So ,what do you guys think a restored Cub should entail ??? PS, Grey531 has a swell tractor that he has tweaked himself in a short period of time. Nice job Art !!
Um, I guess with what you said, My cub is not being "restored". I am using tremclad out of a rattle can. I am putting in new wiring (not a factory harness but my own thing) and There are a lot of things that will not be factory. I'm probably going to be using tire tube rubber for ISO replacment. I am also not using the factory Ih bolts, I'm installing new gauges, tie rod ends, front wheel bearings, new lights, and some other things. does this really count as a restoration, or is it not even close?

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.
