You did one hell of a job on that restoration. I definitely need a model 100 for my collection. There is just something about the look of the model 70 and 100. Definitely a beautiful tractor.
Oh my goodness gracious!!!! That is just beautiful man!!! Wow thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing all of the awards and trophies you will bring home with that. I actually watched this video twice. Stunning. 👍🏽😍
Hey IHCC, Had some spare time (finally) and decided to catch up on some channels I hadn't visited in awhile. This is really nice! You did a bang up job on this bud! Congrats and thanx for sharin'!
Got another question for ya. I was looking on eBay for that billet pulley you put on the S/G. I did find one for about $20. Is yours steel or aluminum. The ones I see are steel. You did an awesome job on that beauty! I been looking for a old 100 to do a restore on. I have a 127 I'm partially restoring.
There should be a roll pin on either the front or the back of that big pin that holds it in to the frame you have to knock that out then you can knock out the big pivot pin
Charles Stuart I bought them on super bright leds.com just do a search for PAR 36 www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/reflector-bulbs/weatherproof-par36-led-boat-and-rv-light-bulb-50w-equivalent-screw-pin-led-flood-bulb-730-lumens/3648/
Is the engine all painted yellow ? I just got a 64 100. With headlights and creeper unit. Very solid needs restoration tho. What you’ve done here is. Definitely the benchmark. Is the front mesh. Painted what or silver ? I thought they were silver, until seeing the one on my unit is white
Thanks. Yes engine is all yellow. And the grill mesh is white. Here are the ISBN numbers for two really good books on the cub cadets. they have some great info and specifications including paint colors. 0760310793. And 0760321388 If you search these numbers on Amazon they should come up
@@erichheyde5953 I am pretty sure you can still get them. Yeh fellow I got mine from had a whole box of new parts that came with it including the steering wheel and center cap. Let me do some looking.
@@IHcubcadet My grill is original but it's been bent out of shape more than a few times and stretched and trimmed to fit lol. The rest of my 70 is in pretty darn good condition. I might have to find a better insert. I would like to find a headlight panel with the rings and a Grote? taillight for it as well.
Yea I placed the decal on then cut the light openings out with a razor blade. When I bought my tractor, it came with decals because the previous owner was planning on restoring it at some point, but you can purchase them from right here I bought from them before.www.maplehunterdecalstexas.com/cubcadet100.aspx
I sure do. That and the original I’ll never get rid of. Don’t get to using that much these days they’re actually still in my parents garage I don’t have a garage at my house so I can’t keep them out of the elements. Hopefully when my son is older in a few years I can get back into doing some Tractor restorations he’s only 14 months old so he’s got a ways to go lol. First step is going to be getting a garage built then I can probably work on stuff
@@IHcubcadet great. My little boy is old enough he's been driving his cadet and cub. You need to get back making videos 🙂. Anyway good to hear from you again.
Hey, this is a fantastic job you have done on this tractor. I just picked up a model 100 Cub Cadet from my cousin that actually used to belong to my dad and I mowed with it when I was a teenager ( I am now 65 years old ). I am trying to figure out exactly what year it is. I heard there is a number on the gear reduction housing, I checked and the number I found was 385058R . Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
nice work. do you have a mower for it? i have a 1961 cub cadet and a 1948 farmall cub. both are very capable mowers. i also have a 124 that's apart. i sandblasted and repainted the frame eventually when money allows im going to finish it. my 1961 is in excellent original condition but really could be restored cosmetically. mechanically she's fit and trim. strong running K161 and a super solid 38" timed deck. the farmall has a C3 60" mower under it. i really do not understand why someone would want something new when you can have these machines. even restored it probably did not cost what a new machine costs. if you put a deck under it and took good care of it, it will last for decades before it needs anything major. nice 100
Thank you for the comment! The mower that was on the 100 was totally wasted and rotted out. I have a deck for my 1973 129 its a 42'' I think. In great shape. Have not used it yet. To use it I would have to swap engines out of the 129 because the crank will no longer except the pto clutch.The original pulleys set screws loosened up on the previous owner and destroyed the crank shaft key-way. I do have another K301 with a repaired crank that I could just swap in. So maybe at some point I will do that. Right now its mostly used for snow plowing.
Hi, I know this is an old post and maybe your not on here anymore but could you tell me the wheel and tire size on the rear? Carlisle tires? Great job by the way! Thanks!
When going downhill in gear you’re using the engine as a break. The weight of the tractor trying to roll down the hill is pushing the engine faster and faster so if you have an engine that’s really worn out it doesn’t have a lot of compression it could start turning faster
Who did you purchase your decals stickers from that I have to write hand 100 stickers and to right-hand Cub cadet international the decal for the dash is incorrect
Leonard Cusumano It is from tractor supply store. It looks good but is rather lacking in padding. Could definitely use some more cushioning I might try to add some at some point
@@IHcubcadet can you please tell me how to remove the front pivoting axle pin I've been working on mine for the last 2 years sandblasting and powder coating

WOW!! That turned out spectacular. It doesn't look new, it looks BETTER than new. Very good job.

Gorgeous! Nice work. 😎
Thank you
Wow! Fantastic job! You did a very professional looking restoration.. great attention to detail! Very nice tractor!
Man, that looks great! Nice work!
Thanks for sharing. Awesome!
Glad to see ya back making videos, also happy to see the 100 done. That thing looks terrific.
Looks perfect! Better than brand new!
Very sweet restore ! Love it man ..
Very nice. I have a 1963 my Great Grandpa bought new that will hopefully look like that again someday.
Willy Luedtke thanks.
Fantastic job . Well Done !!!!
Beautiful and you’ve got the creeper gear option!
Man that is sweet. I hope mine look as nice as yours when I start my restore.
Hey IHCC,

thank you
That's about the best looking restore job I've ever seen! 0_O You are absolutely the man. You've inspired me to get on with mine.
Great work
very nice job !
What an amazing job you did definitely subscribing
I love it. I saved a rolling crime from the shredder and have not started on it yet.
Beautiful
wow that looks great
+Isaac Schuler Thanks
Very nice!
Very nice 👌
Very nice
NICE ..I give it 2 thumbs up !!!
DAMN is really all i can say over and over again. Heck of a nice job sir
+DetectorOCD Thanks
Good job!
thank you
Amazing
thanks
looks good, i bet it goes anywhere with those tires. i have a 100 that needs fixing up.
does the MSD coil burn hotter than a regular coil?
Thanks. its actualy not a MSD coil. Just a MSD Bracket and paint oem coil. I did not want to burn up my points with a really hot coil.
I was wondering what size tires you have on the back? I’m just starting my 100 tear down now and I really like the kind and size you have.
they are Carlisle true powers. Size 23x8.50-12
Very nice. Do you know where I can get decals for my IH Cub QA42A Thrower?
Hmm, I am really not sure. I know a place called Maple Hunter Decals in Indiana used to have cub cadet decals, don't know what they have now.
IHcubcadet
Thanks. I want to restore it before winter. Not sure if I'll make it in time.
Looks great man. What kind of paint did you use
Thanks. It is Omni by PPG. Paint-reducer-Hardner.
I have an original 44” mower deck for this tractor. I also have a 1965 Model 100 but it’s not this pretty!!
nice! how much to restore my 100 series?
Looks amazing! Do you still have it?
Thanks. Yes I do.
Just out of curiosity you light was mounted to the frame bolt? Yes? The great debate continues also, what a smacking cub you have absolutely stunning!
Timmy tex long horns thank you. Yes I believe it is mounted to the frame bolt.
What are the tire sizes?
Looks great " but would look much better with the three rib front tires .
Sweet
Link for the pully?

Is it for sale??
Where did you order your headlights from

And did you have to cut out for the lights on your decal

I would like to send you pictures of mine it's been in the family for a long time the story behind it and how I recovered it's pretty cool
I took two years to sandblast and fully and I choose to powder I picked all the colors from prismatic powders
Do you still have the 100?

What causes them to really rev up rpms going down an incline??
When going downhill in gear you’re using the engine as a break. The weight of the tractor trying to roll down the hill is pushing the engine faster and faster so if you have an engine that’s really worn out it doesn’t have a lot of compression it could start turning faster
@@IHcubcadet It’s a new k301 12hp. It’s the only mower I’ve ever had that does it. The original motor 10 hp did the same thing
@@dowdawg my engine is all rebuilt. When going downhill it’ll start going a little faster but I wouldn’t say it’s crazy
@@IHcubcadet Yeah mine really revs up fast and as it hits level ground then you pour the gas to it
Who did you purchase your decals stickers from that I have to write hand 100 stickers and to right-hand Cub cadet international the decal for the dash is incorrect
Where did you get that seat
Leonard Cusumano It is from tractor supply store. It looks good but is rather lacking in padding. Could definitely use some more cushioning I might try to add some at some point
Thank you so much, off to tractor supply I go!
Is that plain white on the wheels
Leonard Cusumano yes and the hood. Paint place mixed me the wrong cub cadet white so I used white. It’s close to the original
@@IHcubcadet can you please tell me how to remove the front pivoting axle pin I've been working on mine for the last 2 years sandblasting and powder coating
tractor looks great. dont know what it is with them mufflers. cant stand the sound of them.
