I would have liked to do some things with paint and body work a little different but these projects are very time consuming as most of you know. Here are a few pics though and next time will be a slower process I hope. Only have to paint the rear rims and decal kit, probably going to do a wire harness in the future but I think its coming out ok. Thanks to Rweaver for all the parts I needed and great service too
Your 73 looks great!

Its both but I really enjoy working on it with my little buddy and he calls all of them "his" which is nice to see how much he likes them. And thanks for the congrats too. Life is moving fast so im glad it motivated me to try to finish this one.

Thanks buddy and thanks everyone for the kind words. Again as most of you know its a lot of work to do one of these but totally worth it when youre done. I remind myself of the before and afters on these and really learn a lot on each one I do. Hoping to get better at it each time. Ive been getting a lot of tips about body work and painting from here and a guy at work too. Thanks again

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.
