Charlie Smith 142 #1 Posted March 9, 2014 Hello Everyone It's been a while since I've been on the forum I thought I'd get back into things with this post, As most of you know I've been waiting for the nicer weather to be here to allow me to crack on with the restoration of my cub cadet, there's not really a lot more that needs doing, only for me to add a few more coats to the wheels then add the decals, and all should look grand again! Here's some pictures for you, Here's the cub whilst removing the engine, The cub once engine was removed and had a petrol wipe, Prepping the rims Getting everything ready Wheels now with new tri rib tyres on, still need a few coats Half grey or half yellow? Spraying the bonnet, I don't know how good quality these pictures will load, but such a good paint job you can even see my reflection Spraying the tractor! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 761 #5 Posted March 9, 2014 A Factory Paint Job.....only difference is the Factory floor didn't have Grass growing on it . Have to see how long the grass stays yellow Charlie. Good progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #6 Posted March 16, 2014 Thank you everyone, and the Grass is still yellow . Now after a few more nice days that we've had I've managed to put a little more work into the cubcadet, there isn't a great deal left to do now, just paint the seat stem the correct yellow, and put the two new rear wheels on will hopefully have it done by tonight. before and after at this stage hopefully more photos tonight or tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
