Cub Cadet 70 restoration

Recommended Posts

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 :D

Looking the dogs nuts Ewan, going to be the star at Newby. :thumbs:

 

Thanks Chris, I'm really pleased with it, especially since I have never picked up a spray gun before I started the resto
