Hello Everyone I am Indyjeepnut aka Andy. I am new to site. Just thought I would drop in and say hello.

Background on me.
I have been mowing with a Cub cadet GT1554 that I bought basically new four years ago . Every time I mow I spend 3 hours mowing and an hour fixing the tractor. I finally got fed up so I told the wife I was either going to spend 15K on a new Cub/Yanmar or go retro. Like any good wife would she said go retro. So in the last 30 days I have bought 3 cubs. Tractor #1 is a 1979 1650 with just a deck. Tractor #2 is a 127 with deck, 1A tiller and a 42A snow thrower. I basically just bought for the implements. Tractor #3 is a 125 with just a deck. My goal is to buy sell and trade until I get all the goodies that I want for my 1650. Then maybe find a candidate to restore.

Welcome to OCC,
Sounds like you have gone wild buying CUBS! You do get attached to the little buggers. I bought a 147 that was running but rough ( had a 12 hp replacement engine) with mower deck and working electric lift for $200. I gave this unit to my son Eric and he was going to do the same thing as you go out and buy a "NEW" one for lots of money. Instead he chose to restore the 147 and it is a very good looking dependable machine at about 1/4 the cost.
Have fun. You came to the right place.
Regards,
Chris
