Cub Cadet

After using up all of the stock of yellow paint from my local ag merchant they ordered some more from another one of their stores, two days later it arrived and it was a different brand of paint  somewhere along the line the paint code got lost so in desperation we made a 60 mile round trip (thanks mum) to another ag merchant and I finally got the paint meaning the last parts could be painted . 
 

 
I made a new gasket for the transmission. 
 

 
The wiring has now been finished and the lights work 
 

 
The bonnet got its final coat of paint and my IH wheel weights arrived (thanks @Charlie Smith) 

 
And here it is, nearly finished just a few little bits left to bolt on but it starts and runs like new! I'm very happy 
 












 

Absolutely top notch , well done Ewan  superb .

One word brilliant in the highest order well done Ewan 

Top marks Ewan, a job well done.

Fantastic job, Ewan. Well done lad.

All plumbed up now works a treat tempted to take it to Newby to see the reaction.

They are not the best but they are a lot better than they were, it's a bit of a rush to get it finished for the first show but I can always repaint parts later that I'm not happy with

Little bit more done. 
 

 
The fenders have now been sandblasted and rust holes have been welded. 
 

 
They were then filled the best they could. 
 

 
Bonnet has now been etch primed and any small pits were filled. 
 

 

 
The bonnet, seat and a few other parts have now been painted cream, it looks a lot better on the photos than it is in real life  but they were both rough to start with. 
 

 
The first coat of paint has been put on the fenders and some other parts.

I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time so today in and amongst painting I knocked one up out of scrap wood to work out the sizing of the actual one. Here are some photos. 
 


 
This is the wooden frame that I made
 

 
A load of angle iron was dug out that I acquired some time ago. 
 

 
Thanks to my dad for the welding. 
 

 

 
Here is how far we got, still lots to do but it's getting there

Nice filler work Ewan, not easy to get right on things like curved fenders

I've made quite a few things out of old bed iron over the years. That'll be handy, Ewan.

Nice work Ewan, the box will come in handy for carting all sorts of stuff about

That's nice Ewan, should make it bigger to scoop dad up from the beer tent.
