pmackellow 2,738 #14 Posted May 24, 2015 It would also look great at Ardingly Smallholders show in the Cub Cadet line up, hint hint !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 215 #15 Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for all the comments guys! Before it goes to any shows I need to get the engine running and bolted in properly! It has compression so fingers crossed there isn't too much wrong with it, time will tell.. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #16 Posted May 24, 2015 That is a really great Cub that you got Tom. I am really pleased that I got to see it and I can honestly say it looks even better in the flesh than in the pictures. The rear hitch is a great bonus. You didn't waste any time dropping that engine back in. Did you date it from the registration number or find the plate?

Tom 215 #17 Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Iain, I am certainly pleased it has the rear lift. I just plonked the engine on there for a picture There is actually a serial number on the reduction box, using a serial number date tool online it dated to January 1963. The registration plate was also registered in 1963. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cub Cadet 613 #18 Posted May 24, 2015 Very nice Tom, I picked up a cub cadet 70 the other week with the same hitch on the back, I was beginning to think it was homemade because no one on the cub cadet forum had ever seen one, Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #22 Posted May 25, 2015 Where do you keep finding all these great machines Tom? No such luck down this way! Knowing how fast you work I'm sure your have the CC up and running in no time.. The three point will come in handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 215 #23 Posted May 25, 2015 As much as I'd like a Bolens I really can't buy no more for a while! I will just have to come round yours Iain and drive yours about Thanks Ian! I think I have been quite lucky recently with finding them close to me, usually they are all down your way or up North! It would be nice to get it running and stick a plough on it for rural past times, hmmm... Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 642 #24 Posted May 25, 2015 I keep trying to persuade Tom to add a Bolens to his collection. You would not dare sell any of yours Iain Good machine Tom 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 215 #25 Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks Chris Very nice Tom,I picked up a cub cadet 70 the other week with the same hitch on the back, I was beginning to think it was homemade because no one on the cub cadet forum had ever seen one,Awesome! Hi Ewan, They seem to have got people thinking, I spoke to a chap in the US and he said that it wasn't original to the tractor but it's weird how they are both identical, unless it was something that was manufactured and fitted over here..
