Cub Cadet 123

I'm amazed at how little work is required sometimes to keep these 50+ year old machines humming along. A testament to their build quality and often the dedicated care of their owners. And it's usually very obvious when its a "labor of love".

Definitely the case here. And with so many to love too!! :beerchug:

Parts!, Parts!, Parts!

I replaced the hub on the engine side of the driveshaft when the engine was rebuilt. I used a spirol pin instead of the solid pin. The pin lasted for almost 8 yrs without damaging the slot on the hub. :bigthink: I bought a solid pin but may use the spirol instead.

BTW, the hood hinges on both 149s are worn out....so they will get new ones.

SWEET! :beerchug:

Nothing like the smell of new parts.

Completed updates and repairs. Mower deck cuts evenly and nicely. I added a 3/8 piece onto the outer lift arm to increase the lift height of mid and front attachments. So far, so good. Also completed regular service too. Now, onto the next project....
