    Tractor and parts sold, thank you for looking.

    Sold Cub Cadet 100 Project Tractor & Parts For Sale

    I appreciate the recommendation, all the bolts are still with the tractor. The new owner will just have to sort them out.

    Sold Cub Cadet 100 Project Tractor & Parts For Sale

    Yes it is! I’ve kept all the parts with it, although some of the bolts may have gotten mixed up (I kept them all, but was going to replace with Grade 8 if I had finished it).

    Sold Cub Cadet 100 Project Tractor & Parts For Sale

    I am selling my Cub Cadet 100 restoration project to anyone who wants to take it on. I have been disassembling this tractor for restoration over the last year but no longer have time or space for it. Everything is there and the frame is solid. The engine spins freely and the oil is clean and...

    100 Restoration Progress

    After stalling for about six months (although I had a valid reason, I have an infant daughter that was born in January), I finally have my Cadet 100 project back on track! Just about done with disassembly, ready to roll the frame out into the driveway to hose out and degrease all the muck...

    orginal paint

    Good to know, I appreciate it! Since I will be only doing the 100 and possibly one larger tractor (such as a Farmall A or Super C) years down the line, a supplied air system may not be worth the investment (unless I do more restorations). I’m also leaning towards using Rustoleum Farm and...

    orginal paint

    That’s a good looking 100! I’ll have to go the PPG paint route when it comes to that stage of my 100 restoration. My only concern is the isocyanates in the hardener: how did you handle that? My plan for painting is a simple booth in the garage (plastic sheeting hung from the rafters), a Harbor...

    Good Source for K241 Engine Parts

    My restoration of my Cadet 100 had been on hold for a few months until last week, now I am almost done with the disassembly of all major components and ready for cleaning and paint. Revisiting my K241 engine, I originally planned on just cleaning and painting it, replacing the head gasket and...

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Excellent, that will be my next step before degreasing and paint! Thank you!

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Yes, that will be my next step. It is a 1” tap, correct?

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Update on my Cadet 100 exhaust; after speaking with my friends at my tractor club, I went ahead and cut the pipe down shorter with the hacksaw and then used a hacksaw blade in a handle and cut a notch in the pipe lengthwise. I was then able to take a ball-peen machinist hammer to knock the two...

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    I don’t want it to come loose! 😉😂

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    Thanks for all the great input! At this point I am going to leave it alone and try to thread a new muffler (one will be arriving tomorrow) onto the remaining thread and go from there. I already removed the lock nut by splitting with a chisel, so the worse that can happen is the elbow loosens...

    Incidentally, my good family friend owns a hardware store (I used work for him) and offers pipe cutting services! I’ll give him a call…

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    While I will reserve the bolt/wrench trick until last, I am considering rethreading it with a hand pipe threader or finding a suitable muffler with a clamp on connection and just bolting it over my cut. Granted, cutting was probably a hasty decision but my original plan was to strip this engine...

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    I have a NOS replacement elbow and lock nut, the plan was to sacrifice this one all along since this one was too far gone.

    Someone else mentioned that…since an oxy-acetylene torch set up is out of budget, would a hotter gas (MAPP gas comes to mind) shift it perhaps?

    Can’t argue with that! I’m going to go for it and get it running!

    To Rebuild or Just Leave As Is

    I've stalled on the restoration of my Cub Cadet 100 due to the usual reasons (work, kids and more pressing projects), but one of the biggest reasons is the engine. I wanted to do a full engine rebuild in line with the rest of my restoration, but a seized exhaust pipe has put me off of trying to...

    Cadet 100 Rear Axle Endfloat

    While my measurement isn’t exact (I haven’t bought a dial indicator gauge or micrometer yet), the left side hub moves 1/16th of an inch and the right side hub moves about half of that (1/32nd of an inch). I managed to get new seals from IHCCW, but Parts Tree and Cub Cadet don’t have them...
