Thought I would drag this over from OCC where I started a thread back in Nov of 2017.
A little history on the tractor. A friend of mine called and ask me if I would be interested in a cub cadet 100 he had found in a barn of a guy he was doing some work for.
I gave the guy a call and went and looked at it, and let me tell you it wasn't a cream puff. But the guy had all the paper work including the owners manual from when he bought it in 1964. The PO told me he cut grass with it up until about 5 or 6 years ago. He bought a new mower and put this one in the barn where it had sat till now. I wasn't to impressed at the shape it looked but I had been looking for a project and I have always wanted an O or a 100 to bring back to life. It was covered with chicken shit, hay and a couple of rat nest. But the metal wasn't rusted to bad, frame was in good shape, the engine turned by hand, the deck looked in pretty good shape. And at the almost free price I couldn't turn it down. Here's a few pics of it after I got it home. More info and pics will follow as I go through what I have done to it over the past few months.
