Thanks to all for the kind words.

I know that everyone of you that have done this before knows how much time it takes to strip everything down and put back together. I hope the next owner if there is one will appreciate the never seize on the front axle tubes, tie rods and many of the bolts and brake shafts. I hate that they won't get to beat on it as much as I did!!! :)

I didn't work on it all of the time, but started in April and finished this past Saturday. I did have to wait on the hood a couple of months though. I think it was worth waiting on.

Who says you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? That hood proves otherwise. :lol:

I've got one of those "Sow's Ear's hood" still on mine. If mine turns out 1/2 as nice as that hood, I'll be more than happy. Real nice looking tractor, great work 8)

That is one great looking Cub. Just out of curiosity, what paint brand and color is your red? I really like the look.

Rick, I don't know what paint was used exactly, but I think he uses PPG paint. I just told him it was IH2150 red. I used rattle cans on everything else but the hood and fenders and it was IH 2150.
