I put new bushings in the tank along with all new gas line and real hose clamps. Standard procedure for me when I have them apart.

I'm kind of going for this look, fenders will be yellow and the wheels will be Cub beige, everything else will be black.

Got it wired and the fuel system finished today and took it for a test ride. Now I need to paint the fenders and foot boards. No pics today.

I had planned on using that set of JD wheels I got from Leadslingingdaddy on this one but Cub in there infinite wisdom shortened the wheels studs 1/4" so they won’t work with the 3/8” spacers, had to put them on the other 1641 that is going to my daughter. Wonder how much they saved with 10 studs that are a 1/4" shorter? Oh well it gives me a reason to put a set of Tru-Powers on it. Gotta love the bean counters.

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.
