I'm disassembled all the way down to the main casting and rear end with the drop axles still attached. I'm going to pull the drop axles apart and replace the seals and gaskets too. Man that hydraulic cylinder assembly is HEAVY. Engine has normal wear on the cylinders and valves so it goes to the machine shop next week for boring and valve job and piston fitting. Crank looks great. Dropped off original Firestones at tire shop to have them pulled off so to paint the rims inside and out. Hardly any rust on them so this should be easy. The old Firestones have lots of tread on them but they are so cracked and checked that I'll probably replace them with new ones. I have a factory IH service manual for the Cub but it certainly leaves a lot to the imagination. Question: I'll be ready for paint in about a month. The new paint jobs I see look awfully bright red compared to the factory paint that I've been uncovering during disassembly. The original red paint looks more like a deeper, darker red; any comments?
