Cub Cadet 613 #57 Posted February 16, 2016 A few more bits done over the weekend and yesterday. Finally started work on the other side of the chassis which was in a worse condition than the other side, we replaced the side in three sections so that the chassis didn't twist. Just before welding in the last piece. Finally finished all of the repairs on the chassis, it just needs its final coats of primer and then I can start on the yellow paint With thanks to my grandad the tyres have been taken off the rear wheels so I can start cleaning them up. Some more bits sandblasted 8 diggerjames, meadowfield, Alan and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cub Cadet 613 #67 Posted April 9, 2016 Long overdue update but here are some photos of what I have been up to. Here is one of the rear rims which is in a really bad state, it's nearly rusted through in places and the centres are really bent but I've done my best to straighten them out. One of the spot welds had expanded with the rust so I used a dremel to try and grind as much out as I could and then we filled it with weld. In the meantime I'm looking for a set of 6 inch rims that are in a better condition if any one has any? The transmission and chassis had their final coat of undercoat and are ready to paint with yellow. One of the track rod ends was rusted on and even with some heat it just snapped the threads off so my dad made this nifty repair. I've now sandblasted some more bits and they have been primered. I got some new bearings and reassembled the starter generator which is now nice and quiet. The rims have been painted with IH white and then the tyres are being fit this morning, with a bit of hope the weather will stay dry and I can paint the rest of the rims this weekend. 5 Stormin, meadowfield, Alan and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cub Cadet 613 #74 Posted April 16, 2016 A little bit more done last weekend, here are some photos. Thanks to my grandad and uncle all of my tyres have now been fitted, I bought some tri ribs for the front as the old tyres were in a really bad state. I masked the wheels off and then painted them all, so far they have had two coats and I'm hoping to get a third and final on today. I've started painting parts in yellow now, ignore how neon the yellow looks it's only the first coat. I have now put a grease nipple in the front axle so hopefully it should never seize up again. I have now bolted the chassis and the gearbox together so that they can be painted together. 2 Stormin and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
