Here is my IH Cub Cadet 70. I’m rebuilding the motor currently. I originally paid just $50 for it.

I’m leaning towards having it bored at a shop.

Will you replace those non-correct fenders with the correct (round) fenders?
From a practical perspective, there is nothing wrong with what you’ve got.

You will be very disappointed if you don't. That is not usable in that condition.

That’s the way I bought it. They are Case fenders. Even though I like to keep most old stuff proper, I actually like the way they look.

Throw some wide diggers on there and they'd look great.
Skinny tires.... Ehhh

I will be putting new 6-12 ag style diggers on it, I’m very excited to get new tires on it.

Be sure that you can get the appropriate oversized piston and rings first!

and don't for get the rod size needed after checking the crank it may need ground undersize if it is out of spec.
If you are going to spend the $$ for a proper overhaul, do it right the 1st time.
