Default New Rototiller!

I found a rotary tiller and gear drive for $150. It was a reply to a wanted ad on CL. He threw some paint bomb on it though. Over spray was in the little utility wagon we got it out of so he must of did it after I called. Now I need to fix up that mess on top of the original mess. I also need to find some info on it like what type and size belts and such. I found the manual on the site for it. Time to study up on it. tiller 1And see if I can get some extenders. He painted over the ID tag but looks like its a 1. Any tips on cleaning the tag off? Will wire brush ruin the original lettering on the tag? Or would some chemical be better to take the paint off? Here are the pictures.

Try mineral spirits or naptha...if he used really crappy paint, those will take it off. Otherwise, you're pretty much screwed. Any scraping, sanding, etc will also remove the lettering on the tag.

Nice find since it sounds like the paint is fresh, so hopefully it will come off easier like Matt said.

Thanks everybody!

I drilled the rivets out. Put it in a dish. I didnt have any mineral spirits or naptha on hand but did have some acetone. So I put a little in the dish and let the tag soak for 5 minutes or so. Then most of it cleaned off with by wiping with an acetoned soaked paper towel. I let is soak another 5 minutes. Wiped some more with a towel and got it all off. None of the original writing appears damaged at all. Now I will just keep it in a safe place until I clean up the rest of the tiller and rivet it back on.

Looks like a nice tiller, glade to hear and see the tag cleaned up nice. Definately a Series 1 due to the size ans number of tines. An extension in each end and a good cleaing and perhaps repaint properly will look good as new. Even better if you paint it the correct shade of off white. More I look at things i buy and peope just paint it white...gee whizz!!

I'd rather see the wrong color paint than a rusted out mess on something I want. Paint is easier to fix than rust holes.

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.
