I need help
Two years ago (where does the time go?) I bought a cub 100 basket case and took it apart for resto. Bought a bunch of new stuff like steerring box kit, clutch, tires, etc etc. Ok.
Then I found a 70 roller for cheap and grabbed that brought it back to my yard. Then found a 123 complete, needing work tho, brought that back and rolled it off the trailer next to the 70. This one will get a foot control and a loader that I plan to build. Yesterday, I drove 350 miles each way to buy a nice 100 incl mule drive. Tires hold air but a bit dry. Just put a new battery into it, fires right up. It's all there, incl proper big muffler (which is quite quiet), pto works, 13.5 volts when running, nothing butchered or cut up or removed, minimal rust, metal fuel line, glass fuel bowl, choke, throttle work. (Choke is a little sticky, will oil the cable tomorrow), key switch works, correct starter push button. All there. It has a black engine which must be a past dealer replacement. This is a good candidate for the creeper unit I have, and the headlights from the other 100. The seller told me it smokes and I thought I heard a head gasket sound. Havent really seen the smoke tho. head gasket (if that is what Im hearing) should be straight forward (is it?). The coolest thing is how educated the people here have got me to where in know what is correct and complete when I see it. So definitely appreciate that!  My wife may suspect I have an "issue" by now... but I bet she'll stay just to see how far this goes LOL Figuring if anyone knows the cure, they'd be here...  But for now its just go back out in the cold and do some more laps in the new racetrack in the snow with the 100!

I have 6 I think. When I worked I'd travel to Uniontown Pa. I would go past a tractor junkyard on rt 982. Stopped one night he had a 12 hp with creeper,couldnt resist. Then a 149 without engine,then others there with parts I think I'd need. I'm retired now trying to get my hobbies in order,classic cars,and o gauge trains. Few guns.

Yup. Center cap there, pretty decent shape too.

Congratulations on your new additions to the family.
There are numerous rationalizations one could use in a case like yours, we've all used them! It really doesn't cost that much compared to many other ways one could toss money around. Your biggest challenge will be storage and finding the time to work on them and in some cases, finding suitable parts that doesn't cost more than the tractor. Good start and have fun.

Yep, left side of the tower. Is there a hole for a switch already or do you have to drill one?

BTW did laps in our tiny yard last nite with wifey on my lap. Musta looked like a crazy old man to the neighbors! (But I did get a "hey runs good!" from next door) Todays task is go to HF and get a "mini tire changer" to *try* to get the ags and front 3-ribs onto the narrow rims from the other 100. My buddy in Iowa told me he does real good pushing snow with the skinny ags. Btw, picked up a agri-fab plow setup off CL. It would have to be adapted but I have a arc welder and a steel supplier up the street for the angle. Oh, here's a review on that HF tire changer. Looks pretty slick actually... https://youtu.be/5sZCBw695iM

I wouldn't call them slick. More like they work better than nothing.
But yer still gonna have a certain degree of struggle depending on the type of rim, tire size, condition of tires and rims, etc. You will want to mount the base to something solid. I have seen them mounted on wooden pallets, tree stumps, and truck tail gates. Saw another on a Reese hitch. I clamp mine in a large vise on the workbench. A little bit higher than I'd like but it works.

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.
