Greetings, from Pittsburg KS. I just recently bought a Cub Cadet. I don't know what year or model it is or where to find any info on it. It has a 12hp Kohler motor w/automatic compression release. The deck is 54"" wide, 3 spd transaxle, and headlights. Any help would appreciated.

Thanks for the welcome OCC.

A little about myself. I'm 55, a VET, with a few disabilities. With that said, I decided that sense jobs are hard to come by ,thought I would get into the OPE repair business. I'm coming across a lot of good deals on equipment that ppl would rather replace than repair.I picked up a Cub Cadet for fixing a starter on his other lawn tractor, 20 minutes and I was loading the cadet into my truck.
The question now is should I keep it as a restoration project, or just repair it and sell it. I think all it needs is a carburetor, finding one of those at a reasonable price has not been easy. Any way, could some one tell me where to locate the serial number on the frame and on the engine?
I really like all of the different attachments and things you can do with this tractor, but if I start getting into it, I'm afraid I won't get much out of it when I decide to sell it.

The model & serial tag location is dependent on the model series. Again, a picture would accurately tell us what you have.

Welcome to OCC! Glad to have you!
