Don't think it burned, just many years out in the weather. Engine still has some paint.

Do it up like gas monkey garage, just scuff it and shoot some clear coat on it.

I've been tempted to do that on mine.

Rat Rod Cubs, I love it. I bet even I could do that.

My only problem with doing it is I'm not sure how long it would last, there's absolutely nothing in clear coat that will make it stick to bare steel. Another problem might be that the rusting process produces gas and I'm not sure if it would eventually lead to bubbles in the clear or peeling.

At minimum it will get the rust conversion treatment.

The tower being the most difficult part to work on, I bought a very nice one off eBay. Suppose to be here by Saturday. It will get hung up on a wall, waiting for the rest of it, to be ready. That will be quite a while. Other obligations. This is a long term project.

I like the idea of putting it in a flower garden. It would look good up at the corner of a house.

If I did this I'd anchor it down to a concrete slab so someone couldn't walk-off with it and convert it into some other foolish pleasure. You should see what gets dragged into some of these so-called Scrap Yards every day for a fix. er-upper It would look fantastic in a landscape setting!

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.
