What a beautiful restoration of both cubs. You definitely deserve them, and you have a great piece of history in your garage.

How much would it cost to have that done?

That is a beautiful 185. I bought a 154 last year and I tell ya its a lot of fun to mow with

Great Video ! If I was there at that show looking at your Cub I'd be green with envy like Eleverna Bradshaw looking at Granny and Elly May's new mink coats . Beautiful restoration and a great choice in music .

Do I have to pull the rear or motor to get the shaft out. The only thing it is is its missing a pin on the rear of the clutch. I'll still have to put a new clutch and shaft in it though

Quick question I can't get my 185 to move. Do you have any idea why? I need a new pilot bearing and throw out bearing for sure but I have no idea what's the problem. I'd also like to find a 3 point and blade

Really nice job on the restoration. I myself am in the market for a lo boy. This motivated me even more. Thanks

Reel good job. I am restoring a 1970 154 right now. and it is a hand full.

@andrew donohue yeah, i run 10w-30 in some of mine but we got a bulk tank of 15w-40 for diesels and i run that in some of the old tractors that i use like my M and super C

@bulldogmack407Sales thank ya sir, you can get the paint at any case dealer. its Federal Yellow and Power White. or you can go to a PPG paint shop and they can mix it for you, its called cub cadet yellow and cub cadet white if you go that route

Great Job! I have a Loboy 154 i want to restore, where did you get the paint from? I cant seem to find cub cadet paint, or did you have it mixed for you?

i recently bought a standard farmall cub, while i like the lo-boy i like even more feeling like im running a farm tractor; which is what the older cubs are small farm tractors. i have a danco C3 60" belly mower, a 54 blade, and a sickle bar. also included weights for front and back and tire chains. tractor has TC hydraulics as well. runs great but doesnt like to start in colder weather. im going to try switching her over to 10W30 instead of the SAE 30. otherwise she's a great little tractor

Beautiful job! I used one of these for 32 years mowing my 8 acres....you can't wear these little engines out.

@LDPosse Thank ya sir

Beautiful job! Awesome 185!

@3303073522 no sir, it only had around 2500 hours on it when i got it, only has a few more hours then that on it now though, and it ran perfect so all i did to the engine was replace some gaskets, give it a tune up, rebuild the carb on it, and service it of course. the 185 had 18 horse and the 154 were 15. actually the 185 would do pretty good and run some implements pretty decent but you gotta remember the pto's on them spin backwards

@ad356 thank you, ya i got quite a few old tractors. i think im right around 14 or 15 right now. i got another loboy come cadets, some john deeres,farmalls, an allis,

nice tractor. im working on a IH cub cadet 147, its a 1971. my other tractor is a 1971 john deere 112.i cant justify having a tractor as large as a cub loboy for my 2 acre lawn but the same generation cub cadets are cool too. i already rebuilt the engine now i have a qa42 blower mounted on it and a NOS 48" deck pan on the way

@joe634579 Do i know you or are you being serious right now? where are you from?

do i know you or are you being serious right now? where are you from?

ok dude your a dumbass who the fuck would buy a junk tractor but 10 grand in it and then just let it sit in your garadge and take videos of it god some people are just plain stupid aka you......

super job! I'm looking for a low boy to work the heck out of-- wish i had your talent to do that though!

@TheSaturnV Thank You. Yes I was only 14 when I restored this tractor. I am now 15 years old. during june and july i restored a 1939 allis chalmers b from top to bottom in only 5 weeks.

Beautiful work. You are one talented restorer.....and 14?!!!

@cw2gtc thank you. if you go to your local IH dealer most of the parts are still available. but i will warn you, you're going to pay out the ass for them. i had a couple several hundred dollar trips to international for parts. but they are genuine.

*VERY* nice resto. I am doing the same model tractor myself, right now. Trying *desperately* to find a planet gear carrier for mine. Nowhere to be found. The creeper gear unit is hard to come by. BTW... A reverser is available (used) that will reverse the PTO drive and pair it up to 540 applications. Be aware that it remains 18HP rated. You can use regular 3pt attachments but have to go slow. Recommend no larger than 48" gannon, etc. Any parts available???

thank you, im glad some1 appriciates my work rather than tellin me 2 take it out and tear it up, lol

This thing must be a trailer queen than something to use for looking good and work if it was me I would have restored it but then use it for work but i would polish it up and show it sometimes

@blackjackhp Thank you very much, i realy apreciate it. would you believe me if i told you i was only 14 years old when i restored this last summer? send me your name and address in a message (dont just reply to this comment because then anyone could get it) and i will send you a copy of the pictures when i get some printed off.

You are a master Painter and Mechanic . There are Photo's at :44sec., 1:25sec.,2:40sec., 3:10sec., 3:15sec., 3:27sec., 4:03sec., 4:12sec., 4:14sec., 4:30sec., 4:34sec., and 4:44sec. These Photo's Really showed how it came together. I would love to have copy's..

@redgreen1990 I still have the front blade for it and i will probably sand blast it and paint it like i did the rest of the tractor, but this is a show tractor so i may just use the blade on my lo-boy 154. i have two of them. 154 and 185

Great job it makes me jeakous becuase Have projects in mind I want to do because i don't have the money to buy or restore anything, also what did you do with the blade did you keep it and repaint it or what.

Cool for restoring it makes me jealous because I want to do some project but don't have the money to buy or invest in the restoration but you should do a video of it running.

@jet62095 I just gave it a cold start a couple weeks ago, but personally i think making cold start videos is kind of hillbilly.

No most of them were factory without them, but the hydrolic line are plummed in so all you have to do is put a diverter valve on it and hook up the line. i have a lo-boy 154 with no three point

Its single stage acrylic enamel(mae). but im getting ready to a farmall super c i bought a few months ago and im going to use either urethane(mtk) or base/clear(mbc) i think. probably urethane.

is that tractor painted with a single stage or a two stage paint? All our jd's were painted with enamel.

thanks

I'm well aware of this. But thanks anyways. you can use the fine for things like blades, scoops, ect.

Awesome job Dude!!!! First Class restoration

thanks

Yes these do take normal size implements.

I'm with you on that one, once they sold out to mtd they turned to shit. The sad thing is the mtd Cub Cadets are the highest quality mtd built now and they are pieces of shit.

Thanks. Its actually better than a cub cadet if you can belive that!

thank you.

Alright. Not all of them have three-points on them, but if you do get one go with the 185 the 154 dosen't hardly have enough power for like a bush hog or something.

i remember LOL. By the way great song in your vid!:)

please do, i am thinking of getting my old man one of these, but i dont want his implements to not fit. thanks.

Thanks alot. No bondo in that one either.got all the sheet metal straight.lol(if you remember the bondo half assed work videos.)
