Thank you guys, I appreciate it. Yes it took 4+ months of constant work to get it the way you see it. We did a complete engine out bare frame start. The grille took about 6 hours of meticulous work cause we didn't want to screw the grille up. The hood screen isn't cut into the hood but we made it look like it is cut into it with flat black under the screen to resemble the air intake cutout then the screen mesh is gloss black to to give it that effect. I have a walk around video of it on youtube under mini IH 5488. I will be taking this outfit to an upcoming plowday and will get pics and videos. I've got my 782 going in for the same treatment but as a 5288. Thanks again.

I have been working towards a similar goal with my 682. The one thing that has been bugging my is how to build the grill. I messaged you on the youtube video and now here you are. I would really appreciate any hints tips or suggestions for making it. I assume you built some dies of some sort to crease it. What are the recessed lights made out of?

Very nice Jerry.
I think it's a work of art, and tastefully done, like a tractor that would have been available for purchase back then...

That is really really nice! Looks awesome with the disk attached. Do you have plans to work it or is it a show piece?

Thanks guys. Yes I plan to work the tractor and disk and all my other attachments. My other buddy is building me a 6' rolling basket to pull behind the disk and 5488. I will be debuting the entire outfit on March 26th at a plowday. I did have to make a jig to put the coragations in the grille. The boxes are made out of sheet metal and welded in the box shape. Thank you to everyone who watched the video of it too.

Thanks. Yes I got your message on youtube about the grille. Let me find the paperwork for the screen mesh is used on the grille and I can give you the part number. We bought the screen mesh from McNichols on the net.

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.
