Sorry for your loss DW! if it were me I would keep the tractor,if it were mine. I have to many memories to let it go if I could fix it. Bearings ,seals, engines, and tires can be replaced memories cannot. The deck is toast,you might be able to straighten the bar on the mower,hope you can. The rest prob can be sand blasted and repainted,I hope anyways. Sorry for your loss hope you can save some of it.

So True! That's why I am restoring my Grandfathers Cub now, It tracked it down after about 30 years and found his original one and bought it back from the owner. Now I am restoring it for my dad, You definitely cannot replace memories!

Devastating to say the least.

I'm far from being any type of pro, but wouldn't all metal parts still be useable? Or being restorable? I would think that besides the paint being removed, metal is still solid? I am just being optimistic.?????

Sorry for your loss & now the fighting with the insurance Co., will be a challenge in- itself.

Nik,

Nik,
By the looks of the burn patterns from the pics and the patterns present, I would say that that fire got pretty hot, unfortunately hot enough to melt the internal structure of the metal, compromising its integrity. The Cast iron is probably fine and same with the thicker pieces of steel but cheap pieces of thin stuff may not have made it. I wish you all the best... I would probably restore it... even if its not running

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.
