By and large, the tool I have used on every project I take on, cub or otherwise... My mini-fridge.
 Keep wrenching everyone! In all seriousness, 30w oil an a grease gun are my must-haves. I use 10w30 in the winter.

A word of advice: You probably shouldnt show the Mrs. the list of tools that will be needed to be able to own and maintain a rusty old tractor.
Drag the tractor home and show her what a good price it was (rust and all), the nickle and dime the other stuff over time..... (maybe nickle and dime should be adjusted for inflation)

Yup. Little at a time. And, buy her something, that she would like to have. NO, not a push mower for trimming, after you make a sloppy job of it, while riding, your "work tractor"!

Folks I can't thank you all enough for sharing! I was going to try to update my first post with answers from people but didn't expect so much great info! For one, I thought a torch was going to cost me a bundle. I just need one to help loosen bolts and will pick one up.
I've just picked up this Titan Stud puller to help with some of the nasties. Looks pretty nice. Hope folks won't mind adding more when they can

Guys
I moved this thread to the general talk section because it has very little to do with IH tractors and think the others will benefit from the suggestions you have all made. Carry on.

I thought of another one that is totally invaluably on WFs (probably NF too, but I've never tried) and close to free (depending on your choice of construction)...
AN ENGINE OIL DRAIN PAN THAT FITS WITH YOUR DECK STILL ON THE TRACTOR!!! I made mine from a 440rd 7.62x54R Romanian ammo can "spam can". It's absolutely perfect. I will make one for anyone that wants to purchase me a FULL box of 440rds of ammo.  (That's a serious offer... Fully deburred, repainted, and I'll cover shipping to my house and to your house.. It's still gonna set you back about $80)...If that's too steep for you.... There are a wide variety of aluminum pans you can get at the grocery store that you can MAKE fit without much work. The ammo can reigns supreme though if you happen to have an 1891/30 and need some ammo anyhow. I grinded down the crimp over the top plate so I could take it off then hit the edges with a file. It fits a WF like butta on hot biscuits. I actually like to use it to drop dirty funnels in to since its narrow enough that the top doesn't drop in and it lets the funnel drain. ...I'd do a 50% off deal if someone wants to come help me empty a 440rd ammo can! You win twice that way! If you want to get waaaay bootleg a milk or gatorade jug can be made to fit too. They just don't last too long since the oil breaks the plastic down.

Yeah..changing the oil on my Model 800 QuietLine is a real pain in the butt...
As my Dad used to grumble quite a bit (worked for IH for 30+ years).. "I sure would like to find the sorry (colorful name deleted) that designed this and talk to him with my hands!"

So I just ordered a few more tools. Not sure if these are must haves but I'm hoping they help me with engine tweaking and repair.
- Timing Light - Remote Starter control - Spark plug tester I'll post some pics of these when Amazon gets them to my house and how they worked out.

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.
