Thanks jbollis for the info. The front axle channel was moved forward 2 3/4" which still allows me to use the factory motor mount plates with the aftermarket solid motor mounts. I know I lost some "free" weight on the front, but I am trying to retain a stock look. Now, how close to stock it will look when I am done?:biggrin2.gif:

Thank Allen! the head has been cleaned up and milled .020. The fender was in bad shape on the right hand corner. The PO must have needed a rear veiw mirror for backing up! That corner was folded in were they hit something. The steering box has been rebuit minus the bearing upgrade which will be purchase in the near future. I am not sure what to do with the dash/tin yet. I did go ahead and strip the old paint off and shined it up with 0000 steel wool. Should be shotting some paint by next weekend

Update
Well, things have been slow lately on this project due to cold weather and the fact my painter has been draging his feet on shooting the red paint. I knew better than to do it, but I "pre-paid" for the work
 . Lesson learned. Everything but the frame and front axle is sitting in prime. The front wheels have been painted aluminum and the steering gear box has been painted satin black. I was suprised at how good a finish Dupli-color rattle cans lay down . I will post some new pictures soon.

I mounted my front tires last night using a tip I found on youtube. Lay the rim on the ground. Get the back bead of the tire on(fairly easy). Clamp a small pair of vise grips on the lip of the rim. Use 2 flat head screwdrivers to work the outer bead over the rims lip. I tried to mount these the night before and had no luck. Using the vise grips is the way to go and it didn't even damage the paint! Both tires were mounted in less than 5 minutes!

I used Kleen-Strip ks3 premium stripper which can be found at Lowes. After removing the majority of the paint, I used a 1/4 sheet sander and a wire wheel in a 120v drill to remove the rest. I take all parts down to at least 99% bare metal before priming. I know, it is probably over kill.
TIP- I have used with great success 70% rubbing alcohol as a cleaner/degreaser before priming. Much cheaper than prep spray!

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.
