The steering wheel is in decent shape, but it is very loose where the spokes go into the center hub. I'll probably have my brother in law pic up a new repro for it. I thought it looked like Ford blue too, LOL. I have to wait for my nephew to come help me take the engine apart, altho curiosity is killing me. I might at least pop the head and measure then put it back on for him to take off.

Looking good Dwayne, I like the breather cover, with a pre bent rubber hose of the right diameter, you can vent down below the motor, keeping the new paint nice and pretty!

Sweet pics DWayne! After looking at the pic with the wiring the right side was cut narrower then the left side. Just measure where the tabs are welded on the dash tower and use the same width as the base and the same height as the top of the tabs and you'll have everything you need make a new battery box.

Was a nice day out and everyone was gone, so I had some time to play, ahem I mean work on the 73 a bit. First order of the day was the steering wheel removal. I have been spraying it with PB blaster the last few days. I got my air chisel and installed the custom made tool I use to remove the steering wheels with. About 10 minutes of some easy work rotating the wheel while applying upward pressure and using the air chisel the wheel suddenly slid right off. I continued with removing the sead and rear seat mount. Removed the steering tower and removed the clutch assembly. I was also able to get the Engine PTO removed. I had to drill out one set of set screws. They were FUBAR'd pretty bad from PO. You will see the PTO bearing was not installed correctly and the back side of the PTO was rubbing the end of the crankshaft
 . Some hand filing removed the ridge from the crank shaft. I am going to have to buy a gear puller to get the bearing off. It is on "tight". As you will see from the pic of the motor I pulled the head, there is quite a bit of carbon and I took a picture of the piston at the top and then at the bottom. If you look real good you can see quite a bit of the rings on the Carb side of the cylinder. Egg Shaped, but I am pretty sure .010 will fix it, but will know positively once I get the piston out. That was about all I accomplished today. Oh I did have some time to polish on the 982D out side in the shade before I put it back up.  Air Chisel  Tool made by cutting off the head of a 3/8x4" bolt.  Tool installed for removal:  Success, and no, I have not had any bearing cub or bearing damage removing the steering wheels this way.  Nice clean damage free steering shaft and tube:  Almost there, just a few more things to remove:  Inside of the steering tower after removal:

PTO Bearing installed too far back
 Piston and valves and carbon, the head was pretty nasty:  Rings showing pretty bad on one side:

Thanks for the pix and a question
Great pictures and it looks like you've got one well worth saving.
On your wheel tool, do I understand that that bol5 slides down inside the steering column shaft and the tool hammers on the shaft with the nuts you have threaded on there? It's a good idea ...air tools...impacts and the like save a lot of bolts/nuts AND knuckles Thanks John

I use the same method to remove the steering wheel,but I loosen the nut a turn or two,and leave it on.Always use a lot of soak time with the PB blaster

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.
