i am buying a 70 from a friend in april. it is in great condition with like new fenders. the only think i dont like is it has a 11 horse briggs engine in it. i am thinking about replacing the briggs engine with a 6 horse deisel. what would you guys think. do you think the trans would hold up to the added torque. thanks for all input.

Kevin, keep in mind that the transmission used in these gear drive Cub Cadets were used in the 15hp Farmall Cub, and they are the transmission of choice for pullers. It should handle that 6hp diesel with no problem.
What can you expect ? Expect it to be <font color="ff0000">I</font><font color="000000">H</font> Cub tuff! Keep an eye open in the classifieds for sale section or post in the wanted to buy section or try the sponsors. Parts are still out there.
Kevin, most any part you need should be available in the used market and many are still available new. The rear 3 point hitch will only be available used but they show up frequently. There is currently a narrow frame 3 point for sale in the classifieds, Mark Romano has it listed for $75, he didn't post a photo of it though, he posted a photo of the tractor that it is on.
