Well, I couldn't help myself. Went and grabbed this Cub 129:
She came with a big 48in plow, chains, wheel weights, and a really nice 48in deck. Hasn't run in 8 years and the motor is currently stuck. I figured it was a decent deal at $150.
Poured some ATF down the spark plug hole yesterday, and will see if she'll move today. If not I'll probably just pull the head. If things get worse I'll just part her out.
Question: This tractor does not have a hydro release lever. There is a cover over the hole. It also rolls. What gives? I thought they all had release levers. The PO said it ran when parked, and I don't have any reason to doubt him. Can anybody provide some insight?
