Looks good Zippa. Amazes me that even though it’s a weird little bath tub, the underneath reveals a somewhat full c channel frame. Very cool I like it. And the electric 95 seems just as cool to me.

Side note probably just have to file the points under the flywheel and sparks will fly!

It was a nest, but never saw a mouse nest made like that. It come from a ways south of me, who knows what they got for critters down there...

That's what I was thinking Mike. Got the nut soaking as we speak. (on the flywheel)
I have a service manual for it, and it includes the electric model. After seeing the wiring, and little diode's and "thingys", I think I'd be passing on one of those.

Todd,

I am glad to see you doing this one!! I have a secret soft spot for these little things... I had a 60 when I was a kid... it was yellow and had the two pedals for forward and reverse... dad changed the drive sprocket for me so it would run faster.... We called it the "mow cart"! Believe it or not the little farts mow grass really well! They turn really tight and the frames under that fiberglass are pretty stout... A true testament to how IH built stuff.. even when it was meant to be a cheap mower it was still better than what you could buy at the hardware store! I really miss my little 60... Dad knows the guy that bought it from us back in the early 80's... he never gets rid of anything.. I have always wanted to ask if he still had it and wanted to sell it... but I was scared somebody would laugh at me!!

We used it regular to pull a little wagon to the woodpile and back to the house in the winter time.. even got into a fight once with my sister over who got to drive it back to the house!! She wound up taking a cheap shot at me, knocking me down, she took off and left me on the ground.. little did she know mom was watching from the house!! One of the few times she got a whipping and I didn't!!

Keep up the great work.. I wanna see this one done up nice for sure!!

Looking good Todd. That is the first one I ever saw with tub removed and it looks like they are pretty well built. I would like to own one of those someday. Keep the pics coming.

I have some NOS 85 decals but they were stored very poorly for alot of years so they have a few wrinkles but I think they would be usable if you took your time, I will send you some pics later and if you want them you can have them just pay for the shipping.

Looking good Oh Master of the bath tubs, now is it a full restore with new faucets and a drain or just a refresh?

Go check it out Jay, at least you'd know if it is still around. Never know.
I don't care if someone laughs. There a cool little mower, and a small part of the bigger picture of IH.

Yeah Todd, pretty stout little machine. I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures along the line.

Thanks Tim, but at this point, don't think I'm going to do anything with the body. There aren't any cracks, and the decals are pretty good, unless I go messing with them.

At this point Lew, the plan is to get it mechanically sound, running and working, but like all things I touch, plans can change.

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.
