My 70
When I was a kid my dad bought a new 70 in 1964. I decided it was time that I got one for myself. Recently picked this one up over in West Central Illinois. I am thoroughly enjoying the process of refurbishing it. I am the kid sitting on the fender.

Have the mower pretty well stripped down, next step sand blasting and paint. That will be subject to the weather which means it will be awhile before I get around to that. As I took it apart I made a detailed record of the order of the dismantling and bagged all the hardware individually. Today I chased all the threads on the bolts and nuts and wire brushed them. I will start working on the engine next.

Got some paint
It has been 22 years since I last painted an antique tractor, I got a little sticker shock today when I picked up some paint. What is pictured cost me $202.00. I still have to get primer, I priced the primer I wished to use was a non sanding primer and it was $155.00 a gallon could not get it in qts. the catalyst was $50.00 per qt. and the ratio was 1 to 1. I cannot imagine it taking more than 1 gallon mixed to prime a 70. I knew paint was pricey but.................

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.
