Hi all, new here with a bit of a project

Hi everyone,
I'm Ben from north Wiltshire, I've wanted to own a Cub for a while now and I guess today was my lucky(ish) day as I was given an old C70 by a farmer who has had it sitting in his barn for many years. His children use to ride it around the fields years ago. Here's how she looks after I dragged it out from under a pile of wood:

It would appear that the engine is seized, wheels are seized and it has a spot or two of rust. I've tried to find out what year it is from the chassis number as there is only a small chunk of the number plate left. I think it's a 1978 vintage. The chassis number is C70-7064166. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it yet but the plan thus far is to get it stripped and get a list together to see what it needs to get it back up and running. As I have to replace the engine I think I'll see if I can get a 6V 90 engine for it.
That's all from me for now but thanks for having me in your community, I welcome any of your hints, tips and comments.
All the best
Ben
