Just one of those days...
 

Well this was one of them,
I picked up this 102 yesterday.On my way there I was going to stop at my Sears collector guy who gets a few cubs in once in a while,but I figger I see him on the way back with the 102 because he's a talker:BlahBlah::BlahBlah::BlahBlah:Well he had this 124 settin' there and of course the price was right,and of course I picked it up today.I shudda,coulda,woulda,stopped there first.The 124 had a hydro pump on it at one time, but the strap was the replacement lifter thingy.Creeper,weights,snow plow,in ruff ruff oooooooooooowwwwww shape,and headlights.

Nice finds Lew!:beerchug:

Nice find. The 124 used to have a hydraulic lift on it at one time.....too bad you didn't land that with it, but still a very nice find and the creeper is a nice extra!

Cub Cadet 123

Nice find! Wish we could find those "loaded" Cub Cadets out this way. Always seems to be plain jane ones out here.

Good scores, Lew! How many do you have now?

Not as many as Cub Crazy!:biggrin2:

Hehehehehe

:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

Allen,
I have 25 sometimes more or less,the 122,70,and72 were sold this past weekend.They went to good homes.

Well yesterday I dragged the 124 in the shack and proceeded to defrost the frozen tranny.Pulled the fenders off and the shifter and the hytran was filled to the top. :Shocked: I stuck a screwdriver in there to see how far down the ice was. It was only down about an inch...:bigeyes: So after 6 hrs of defrosting with a block heater,brooder lamp, and a dipstick heater, it finally was time to let it loose.How much water does a nf tranny hold? :Huh:
So I remove the plug and out came a gushing of hydro not hytran.It was like Niagara Falls...It filled up the 6 qt container I used,I plugged it with my finger,switched containers and let out the rest. :BlahBlah:

So how much? :bigthink:

2 1/4 gallons. :bigeyes:

I pulled the rear cover off and it was not bad at all in there so I wiped out the gunk.
Looks like Saturday I will put it back together.

Lew, that's a lot of water!:Shocked: I know you'll have it running like a top in no time!

Age and owners
 

It's kind of cool to see the "field expedient" modifications the DPO's (Dreaded Previous Owners) made through the years to keep these hoss's running and working, like the lift and tilt mod yours shows.

That thing looks like it's been ridden hard and put away wet, yet the trans shows good serviceable condition inside...a testament to the quality of these things. Congrats on saving another!
