Worst case you could probably re-power it.
Thanks Brother Sam. I hope it will just need a little love, and fire back to life. He did say it had compression and he thought it would start. Poor guy has lung cancer and is out of the old mowers for awhile. He has a 1959 Bohlens also but I just thought this one looked cool. Think I should come up with a new color scheme? Like orange and white or something colorful? Or maybe just leave it red.

Strictly my opinion, but that machine is more rare than your average Cadet so I would put it back as close to possible to original, right down to the pin stripe. If you didn't want to paint it, just get it running, I doubt you'll have any trouble finding parts, plenty of guys collect old air cooled engines. I think we have one, maybe 2 Lauson's, but they are horizontal shaft engines.

That's cool Ronnie. Is the guys Bolens a ride-o-matic? Those are neat little things too. I had a guy wanna trade an almost NOS Swisher original zero turn the other day for my 128 but I turned him down. It sat on a show room floor it's whole life u til the place closed down. You tube both if you haven't seen them, both are very small and unique. You got the bug bad these days Ronnie, good for you!

That's what I'm going to do John. Keep it original.

Hi Alvy, I don't know the model of the Bolens, but it's one of those tractors that looks like the engingine is missing.

I use a Gravley to mow my yard. Have been since the 90's. Their tough old mowers and it only takes me 20 minutes to do the whole yard.

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.
