Thanks for a site to read up on and learn about the recent Barn Find my son & I have found. Not sure on the year or motor size but my son wants to get started on it right away. What he has wanted for a few years now.

Bryan, welcome! Ask away - but do ask in the Cub Cadet Forum, the top forum thread on the main page. My first guess is you have a Model 73 on your hands. Nice Find!
I'll second Vince's thoughts that it's a model 73. Looks like a nice one too, just a little dusty. The fenders were optional on those. If you email a higher resolution version of the photo I can post it for you so we can all see it better. Email is in my profile. Questions regarding it should be posted in the main IH Cub Cadet Forum. The Cub Cadet 73 would have come with a 7hp Kohler engine and it was built from August 1969 to August 1971.
