I started to work on the cab today. I am going to restore or refurbish this and thought some would like to see the steps I take, so I will periodically be updating this.
I found it to be in worse shape then I had thought it was. Nothing That makes it not worth fixing, just more work then I was planing. It has some pretty bad rust issues. I got everything but the inside of the roof wire wheeled down to bare metal. The white paint on it is just not wanting to come off. I sprayed it with some oven cleaner and will let it set till tomorrow. That should help it come off easier. I think I will just give a full coat of por-15 then prime and paint on top of that. The por-15 should keep any of the rust from coming back. I also drew up a print for my buddy that owns a sheet metal shop, so he can cut and bend the piece that I am missing that mounts everything to rear fender. This cab is not for a cub cadet. It is about 3 inches wider then the fenders. I had to get creative with the mounting piece, but it should look good when it's done. Found some stress cracks in places. Both sides just below the windshield. Also found 2 cuts that po must have done for some reason. the cuts are on the lower part of the rear section. I can't even think of why they would have done that. This is what I started with.

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.
