New again

[Dave (69 lo-boy)]

I just finished painting my 108, it was disassembled to the frame, every piece separately painted. I still need the IH decal for the rear.
Here are some photos:

Looks Super nice. You did a fine job on your Re-Do.

 

[Scott]

Nice Job. Very nice!

 

[Dave (69 lo-boy)]

Here is what it looked like when I picked it up.

Nice Dave! Are you doing the deck as well?

Nice Dave! Are you doing the deck as well?

Yes, I still have the mule drive and deck to do, the deck needs a little repair, as soon as I find some 1/8 inch plate steel to fix a couple of rust spots I will weld them in and make the deck look as good as the tractor.
BTW, it is not orangy like the photo's, I guess the color balance is off on my camera.

Dave:

Really nice job on that 108 :!: That is a classy little lawn tractor. Very few of the other makes could come close to the clean lines and look of the IH Cub Cadets. Nice Job :!:

Hey Dave...GREAT LOOKIN' Cub Cadet!!! :wink: AND...you finished up just in time to put it on a trailer and take it to LEBANON, TN this weekend for it's FIRST Red Power Roundup! :wink:

Dave, BEAUTIFUL!!!! I had one just like that, but not as perfect! :wink: But we sold it for a snowmobile.. (IT cut the lawn way better than the 129 we now have..) (The gear drive was flawless just like most IH transmissions.)

I finally finished the deck and mule drive, here are the pics:

That looks really nice.

I have been trying to find a cadet to redo all summer. All I can find have plastic hoods
