ok so tonight i tore apart the cub i worked on it for 3 hour until it got too dark to see had a lot of rusted bolts so it was a pain. got it down to the frame trannys still in it because i'm going to tear it open tomorrow to look inside. tractor needs A LOT of work. and i was debating just using it for parts but what do you guys think should i restore it or part it out. i would like to start working on a racing mower and a mudding mower. let me know what you guys think i should do. Ill post pictures tomorrow.

Id hate seeing this going to pieces, but this doesnt HAVE to be done now. what id do, is take it apart, label everything you're gunna keep, and bag it up and store it, push it to the side if you're thinking about a racing or mudding tractor.

ok yeah thats probably what i'm going to do for now

Had a rusted bolt that i couldn't get a wrench on so i welded a nut onto it to get it off

Pulled the front end off
