Hello All

[Henry Denman]

Good morning all. I have a 1965 IH Cub Cadet 100 my dad bough used in the late 70's. I've had the tractor for about the last 20 years and I am currently working on restoring it to give it back to him.

Great plan, Henry.
100’s are old-school cool.

It is my favorite but I'm a little bias since I learned to drive on it.

Thanks. That is her right before being torn down. Presently, she is mostly bare metal and in pieces. I have a few items left to strip the paint off of and I have to finish fixing the grill/hood/steering wheel interference issue before I start paint.

Welcome Henry!
Nice 100 ! I can tell it’s cared for by its current condition, looking forward to seeing it completed.

Welcome. My first CC was a used 100 back in about 76-77 purchased from C.R. Lynch in Reisterstown, MD.

Welcome Henry!
The 100 is one of my favorites too.
A couple of observations: I noticed it looks like an original pulley on your starter/generator, and your hood pointer is on backwards. Any idea how that S/G pulley got on there? No problem, just curious.
I refurbed a 122 for my dad several years back. He was so happy. He only lived three years after that. I sure am glad I refurbed it when I did.

Thanks for the info on the hood ornament. Not sure I would have noticed. A landscaping company had it before dad bought it. It had a mower deck on it when he got it and he traded the deck for a gannon. I'll ask dad if he knows anything about the generator. During tear down I found several "modifications". For example they modified the battery box to fit a car style battery. It was done so poorly I couldn't save it and had to get some sheet metal and bend a new one.
