Looks good. Haven't heard much from you in a while. How did it go for you pulling?

Not the best. Didn't have weight for the first one and the sled wasn't really set up well and neither was the track. Other then that the next pull was 175ft before it popped out of gear. I've hooked chain to a few of my buddies and beat them, but I've been kinda easy on it since i still have course axles and 26' tires. Can't wait to get my fine splines. I also broke a grade 8 drive shaft bolt the other week. Makes a nice pop, but a cheap 11 cent fix.

Well at least your learning. My guess is that pulling is a lot like racing the first few years are like going to school, you find out what works and what doesn't.

Thinking about powder coating the frame black and spraying the body panels with retro red metal specks. And maybe used grade 8 bolts for everything to give it a gold bolt look. Or maybe black chrome

I think you'd better spend your money on parts instead of paint............

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.
