Default My "new" 123!

Monday I took about a 45min drive to see an OCC member to take a look at his 123 for sale. Got their asked him about a front plow he said that he had but wasn't for sale. Long story short I got the tractor and the plow for $250. I put on the rear ags they are only 6x12s but are loaded with calcium and I have a set of IH wheel weights on the inside of the wheels. I have been pushing some sand around to see how the plow works and mostly to see what I think of the hydro. This is my second cub (my first is my 71) and this 123 is my first Hydro anything that I have ever owned. But after an hour of so working with the plow I have to admit that I am very impressed. I have used many other hydros and they don't even compare to what this one will do. The only reason now after driving an IH hydro for me to want a gear drive is for tractor pulling because that i love my hydro that I now have!

I think everyone should own the first hydro IH produced. You did well and met a new friend in the process........least that is what I figure if he sold you his plow. The only thing I don't like about the hydro is they are so much heavier to push around the shop if they are broken down (very short distances of course) than a gear drive.... Looks like a nice picture of it, too.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
