Jason, between the seat, and the hitch I'd say it's worth it!

 

[jsdavis]

Jason - the sponsors might not like me saying, but my 102 steering wheel looked just like yours, parly due to removal process, partly many years in a paddock in Oz sun. Some Liquid Nails/Epoxy, some filling & painting & it's not too bad. BTW the centre used to be a (plastic) Honey Jar cap, just a bit of dressing & paint.

You've been a bad bad boy,

We don't post links to online selling sites (Ebay, businesses, etc.) Also no " . . . how much is my IH Cub Cadet worth . . ." posts.

Graeme - If you'd have used a peanut butter jar lid it would have taken less Liquid Nails ... at least you didn't use JB ... I would have

 

[jsdavis]

Jason D, I hope you are keepin track of where them nut,bolts, washers, spirol pins went. I used some cheap "ziplock bags" with index cards to mark where the fasteners go.

Jason D, I reread your first post. Its not the dirt you got to worry about, wait til you tear into that thick yeller paint! Just make sure you get lots of grease in your elbow!

Art, it was used, on Ebay. It was broken and welded in the raised position. I rebuilt it and shot a little IH red paint on it. Also enlarged the table from 24"x57" to 42"x68", so it will hold my largest Cub.

Here's the before:

Hi Cub Nuts, None of you guys told me how addictive this was going to be. I have spent the lion's share of the last 4-5 days reading about these tractors. My eyeballs are hanging down. Then to top that off, today my owners manual arrived and I was doing ok until I got to the part called "extra equipment and accessories". Dang, I want it all. I don't need any of it, but what's your point. I was sort of hoping I could get this out of my system by Monday so I can go back to work, maybe, maybe not. You could have warned me, but it probably would not have done any good. Is this pretty much how you all got started to??? Something like this, I bet. This is gonna be fun!!!!!

Kentuck - we have LOCTITE, SELLEYS & probably a few others with what look like similar ranges to JB.
