Cub Cadet

It'll be ready for Newby, the rate your going now.
 
 

More good progress, be on wheels tomorrow .

I'm getting lots done now that I've finished school  
 
The engine has been mostly reassembled now
 

 
The hood that was ready for the scrap bin has been patched up the best we could, at least there is metal there now, with a bit of filler it should look ok. 
 

 
With thanks to the warm weather today I got lots more painting done and some parts got reassembled  
 

 

 

Lots of parts have been cleaned and painted this week here are some photos.
 

 

 

 

 

 
We started work on the bonnet which was very holey

Fantastic progress mate well done 

Not much done lately due to having lots of school work to do, here is a little update. 
 

 
The wheels are all finished now. 
 

 
You can just about see in this photo that a previous owner wanted to put a larger sized battery on the dash tower and so they had taken a hammer to one of the sides to break the spot weld so we set to work on replacing this piece. 
 

 
This was the first piece to get replaced, the holes are where it was spot welded before.

 
Here is the replacement piece
 

 
This is the replacement side piece that we made.
 

 

 

 
The screws that held the tail light on had no head left so I drilled them out. 
 

 
Luckily it came off and the original bulb still worked.
 

 
Lots of new stainless steel bolts and washers have been bought ready for the reassembly 
 

A little bit more done over the weekend, I have now fastened on the brake, clutch and linkages onto the tractor so that I can finish painting it together.
 

 
A new front axle pin was made and we used stainless steel grub screws instead of a roll pin which was used before. 
 

 
Heres a photo once it had all had some more paint.

Tomorrow is my last day of sixth form, I have to go into school for exam revision and exams but officially I have left and then I start university in late September. Plenty of time to be projecting 

Green house is handy.

I use her indoors washing line 

That's the only thing with doing these resto's is finding somewhere to hang all the bits

Going great guns there, Ewan.
