I decided to start working on the 70. I dug out all the pieces, pressure washed and degreased. Since this one is pretty much in original condition, except for the engine, I decided that I want it to look aged. I'm cleaning it all up, treating any rust, and getting it back in good working order. I got the front axle off and disassembled. It's almost ready to get greased and reinstalled. Got the repaired shifter back together and installed in the rearend along with the rear cover off the 982, so it's ready to be filled. Once I get the front axle back together I'll install it and the rear end and have a roller. I need to do some repairs on a front wheel and also get new bearings. I also need 4 new tires. I got a set of narrow rears and am going to put a set of 6-12 ags along with narrow ribs up front. I had to get the 1862 and 982 out of the shop to get to the 70, so I set them up for a pic as well.

Broke down 3 times today!!!!!

First I was mowing and the left hand spindle came apart, the hollow bolt in the spindle shaft backed out and the blade fell off.

Got that fixed.

Second I was mowing and noticed that it had quit charging, I shut it off the check things, and the Brand New S/G I bought had quit charging. I changed it out with a used one I had.

Thank goodness for having an extra tractor.


Last I went back to mowing and it just up and died and threw fire out of the muffler. Refused to start back up. I check a few things and then touched the coil, I almost burned the hide off my fingers. So I walked 6 blocks back to the house took the coil off the 149 and drove the truck down to the Cub, fixed it and got it home.

Now I have to walk back down to get the truck.

I think I need a Tall Cold Pepsi after all of that.

I'll say, and we Okies had a hot one today Pat.

Nothing like an antique tractor to keep your wrenching skills honed.

Last night I got my hydraulics fired up on the 100 and bled the air out of the lines. Put on the rear blade and it lifts it easily. The real test will be when I put on the carry-all and start adding weight to see how much it'll lift. My goal is at least 200 lbs. After that the front end gets too light.

I guess you couldn't make up your mind if you wanted a Red Tractor or a Yellow one.

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.
