Cub Cadet 73

Recommended Posts

Started working in a 73 Cub I picked up this summer. Of course it is supposed to run, they always do, right? LOL!

 

Well, I have a good motor out my stock puller that will make a good runner. I only give $75 buck for this tractor and want to spend as little as possible, sooooo, I will use what I have to put it together and make a good plowing tractor out of it. Here are some pics. Someone was going to make a puller out of it.

Ok, here are some current pics. I have it in the shop, up on my workbench. I have the hood at my work straightening it out a bit and will put some paint on it. I will probably rattle can rest of it for now. I need a worker and don't want to spend any money. 

 

I am putting some headlights out of 149 in it that I had laying around. Also dug into the parts bin and put a lift on it and brinley hitch.

use what I have

Well done.

My honey and I do this with Everything as often as possible.

Sometimes I take it as a challenge to do any given thing with as little money as possible.

Build, fix, maintain, repair, install, whatever... ourselves.

We enjoy it.

 

Keep the  :text-coolphotos:  coming !!

Randy,

I like the narrow frames Cubs, and like the looks of that style that the 73 has, as well as the 71, 72, etc.  Of course, I really like the style of the 70 and 100 tractors.  A friend of mine has over 20 Cub Cadets, mostly narrow frames, from Originals, 70s, 100s, 122s, etc.  He did say he may sell one of his Originals, but I never really like the Original, they just sit and drive too low for my taste.

Model 73 is the 4th Rarest Production Cub Cadet Garden Tractor.  There were only 7,678 Model 73 tractors built throughout the series life, making it a very attractive and sought-after tractor for Collectors and Enthusiasts.
