Nah! Those fenders were kit-bashed from a set of trailer fenders like what you would get from Tractor Supply. They're wider and I needed to raise the fender tray (platform that connects them together under the seat) with some washers to give them enough clearance with the larger tires. They work okay, and give the tractor a nice "feel", plus they'd probably help keep some mud from slinging if it would ever find a way to go fast enough!

Here's a shot from the back as we were fitting the new tires/wheels.

Now that's a wide rim. UPS says my new rims are waiting for me on my porch. The Carlisles came yesterday. Off to the tire shop hopefully tomorrow to have my Tru Powers mounted. What horse power is that "O" you pull with?

Sorry, forgot to mention, it's a 10-horse Kohler.

Nice thing about the "O"s is that they've got a reduction at the belt drive, and a reduction gear at the transaxle. That means a little bit of power goes a LONG way. But, they're SLOOOOOWWWWW.

My other "O" has a larger pulley on the engine crankshaft that speeds up the little bugger quite well, but it's more for show than pulling. Plus, it's only a 7hp.

Compare the upper pulley on this one to a standard "O" and you can see the difference. Someone made this out of billet aluminum. Haven't seen another one since.

I would skip the o and go straight for the wf, much better tractor IMHO.

Os are fun tractors. And simple to work with. I'm sure you'd like either one. A WF or an Original. But I'm on more of the original side. That's me. Once you start you can't stop.

You need what you want
I was a anything but an Original kind of feller in the early days, and five of them later I think they're one of the coolest tractors Cub ever made... They were where it all started.

Without a doubt, there will be at least one "O" in my garage. As you all said, they are just fun little tractors and from what I've read, nice and easy to work on. A great first restore project.

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.
