Rebuilding. No clue where to start

[Ryan woolcott]

Hi all. I'll post pics. But I have an older cub cadet. I'm thinking a model 73? I inherited it from my dad as it was one of his last projects. It seems to be all here all marts need to move freely. I need help hooking it back up and getting it running as I have little knowledge about this stuff I can do basic car repairs and am handy w tools and can learn fast. Videos would be awesome. But any info on how to do anything with it would be greatly appreciated!

I was trying to get basic info on it 1st. year make etc. Only number I can find is the engine number and a 6 digit number. Wiring diagrams didn't look to bad to read. And I'm taking a lot of parts are the same or interchangeable?

Looks to have a K241AS (10HP) engine.
Serial number plate is located here in this photo. Report back with numbers and we can tell you what it is or was.

I tried looking it up by that number. Y'all more versed in this then me, lol. But the only numbers are 298763

If 298763 is the serial number than it was built April 1969.
I'm guessing it's a model 72 but has had a 10hp transplanted.

Ryan, the metal tag behind coil should tell you what mod. engine is.
