This Sunday (Aug 22) I am buying my first Cub Cadet. It's a Model 123. To be honest, I don't have a true need for the garden tractor, and the guy told me the engine makes a "noise", which he thinks is a wrist pin. But, that's the fun part. The whole reason I'm getting the CC is to learn. A couple years ago I inherited a 1960's Snapper Comet that wasn't running and a friend of mine and his father in law helped me rebuild the carb and taught me how it works. I instantly became hooked and since have repaired a tiller and a couple 2 stroke weed eaters. I'm getting this cub to do a complete rebuild, not really a restore. I'm not wanting to turn it into a show tractor or anything, I want to make it into a work horse. I plan on tearing it down completely and repainting it, and getting it to run better than new. I'll post pictures on here as soon as I get it, and I plan on documenting the whole process on youtube. I'm sure I'll be coming here to ask a lot of questions, I just hope at some point I'll be able to start answering them, too. At least one thing I can offer, if anyone has computer questions, I work in IT, so I might be able to lend a hand there
