Finally got the left side panel on and extended the exhaust. I had some high temp paint so I painted the heat shield and exhaust.


Some may cringe at this ( I kinda did when I was doing it), but I cut a hole in the side panel where the oil cooler is located. Without the hole there is no way for the heat to escape and this engine puts out some heat. I cut three sides then bent the metal back towards the oil cooler creating a smooth path for the hot air to escape. Future plan is to add a cover that makes it look clean and factory.

Looks great to me! I would have done the same thing and I bet Cub would have also if they ever had that engine back in the day.

The tractor has been running amazing so far. I did a few more customizations' today. I picked up a pair of 1882 foot pads to put on in the place of the originals. Give a little extra padding and protection to the fenders.



I also like having the top cover on the mower deck but I hate having to drop the deck/belt if I want to clean under it. I had an extra top cover that was a bit beat up from a 50A deck. I cut out the center and made easily removable covers, kind of like the 60in decks.

Me too! I will do that to my 44&50c when I get them mounted. My 48GT comes off quick too. Had to pull them Sunday when the belt jumped off.

Enjoyed your thread!! Nice build

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.
