Looks like the drive shaft got repaired at some point. The steering mod is hard on the eyes. I think that's a JD seat pan.

Nice find for $25! Looks like it will be a fun rebuild! It is amazing what all people do to modify there tractors and such! Look forward to seeing the restore!

I didn't get a picture, but I noticed the 3 pins on the drive plate for the clutch look slightly ummm curved, LOL. I am praying I don't find a bolt and nut in the trans side of the drive shaft that has worn everything out allowing the drive shaft to wobble.

Took the 73 up to the local car wash and power washed all the barn dust and as much of the grease and grime off that I could get too. I came out pretty decent. I figured I might as well get started tearing it down, but leave some things for my nephew to help me with. I'll let him help tear down the motor, remove the seat and help me remove the steering components and then the front axle. I have the steering wheel soaking in PB Blaster, once we get that off I'll have him help me get the steering tower removed from the frame. There will be more to do, but that was enough for today. I did find out the motor is NOT the original motor . You will see a pic of some wires with what looks like a three way connector. I figure this motor has a stator behind the flywheel. Should not be an issue, but was just surprised by that. Also the motor was blue at some time. A PO put the Cub tin work back on the motor to keep the appearance of a cub motor. It does not have an oil fill tube. There is a plug that you have to remove located where the tube should be. I am hoping I can put a tube in there? Well anyway, here are some pics of today's progress.

Cleaned up, sort off:





The Hood and cast front end removed:



All Jacked Up and ready to be worked on





What's this crap???







Figured I needed pics of the throttle and Choke linkage setup

Thanks Allen, I am trying, but it will slow way down once it's in pieces.

Great work!

Pblaster IS the stuff... works better than anything I've tried on rusty hardware.

I never had a 73,looks like it is coming apart well.Did a 73 have a round tank?
On the steering,at least the PO did not weld it together BTDT
You may have 8hp in there only way to find out is to pull the head and measure the bore.Looks like ford blue...

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.
