cub 122 about to undergo restoration.
My name is Darren, iam 16 and go to trade school. My grandpa recently has given me a 1968 cub 122. I have retaapped the exhaust threads, cleaned out gas lines gas filter carbueartor and the tank several times. This tractor needs to have all wires replaced an ignition switch, and a few other odds and ends. It very obviously need paint but what im wondering is how far shud i take it apart when painting, if there is any tricks to remove a stuck steering wheel and to tighten up the steering is there any pars that will need to be replaced? Thanks for reading.

In my opinion I'd take it all the way down when u go to do the repaint. Right at the moment my 102 has every nut and bolt.removed. but remember to take plenty of pictures for reference to re assemble. Good luck on your restoration you picked a good model to do it with. It's one of my favorites and welcome to the site

What helped me when I took my # 109 apart is;
Plenty of pics in every aspect of any part/wire being removed & every bolt screw, placed in a zip lock baggy marked with a sharpie to identify. There is no way I could trust my memory to do this.  Good luck in rebuilding & post pics. Nik,

Welcome to Only Cub Cadets! To answer your last post, if that k301 has oil, rust, and loose paint then chances are the paint you choose will not hold up as long and will start to look bad. You dont need to get too involved with the motor if it is running good, respectably.
You might want to attend to any oil leaks first of all. Remove the head, true it up, decarbon, and install a new headgasket. If the points cover is leaking, replace the points pushrod, and install a new gasket. The best way to paint your motor is to remove it from the frame. Always identify your wire leads, and disconnect the battery before wire removal. Once the motor is squeeky clean, you can choose to primer, or layer your choice of color. OCC is a helpfull place to help you. The time you put into will be the reward you get, so take the time to do the job right the first time. Having paint overspray on parts like wheels, ect. , is not a quality paint job. If you have a sincere desire to see how great these machines are, then you will feel good about your work, and hopefully show us a thing or two! Good luck, we hope you choose to make it a good and better running tractor!

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.
