Comments Requested on this 122
I've owned this 122 since sometime in 1972. The serial number indicates it is a 1966 model if I remember right. I bought it as a well used machine and I've used it and my sons used it. I suspect they sometimes used it hard. It was used regularly until 2007 when I retired it when the throw out bearing failed.
The old Cub languished in the barn, other fun projects taking precedence. So now it is time to decide what I want to do with it, repair, restoration, freshen up or sell as is. I have a couple other projects in line. A couple questions for now. 1.The seat cover was on the Cub when I bought it. I've had it covered with a cloth cover. Is there any chance that seat cover is a Cub cover? 2. Is the mower deck missing a belt tension pulley? The idler pulley is the adjustment for the deck belt. It does work good but I think I saw a parts breakdown somewhere that showed a belt tension arm with pulley. Comments welcome.

The tractor looks in decent shape and has a well earned patina to it. The mower deck looks good and I changed my same deck to the adjustment you have. The spring tensioner was crooked and didn't work well.
I'd get it running and only paint if it's what you want

I think it looks great too, for its age and use. The seat looks like something off of a boat. IMO I'd keep it, fix it, and keep running it.

Of course you know who you are asking here right?
You were going to get two answers: 1 Keep it. 2 Load it on a truck and send it to me if you can't decide I like the last one Terry

I would keep it, but the camber seems to be off on the driver's left front tire---seems to angle too much inward....so I would look into that before she was put back into service, along with changing the fluids, rebuild the carb (if necessary), new plug, clean points, etc. for good maintenance.

raytasch, in regards to your qusestions:
About the seatcover, in the pics it looks like that cover is removeable. If so, does the seat underneath appear to be IH/Cub. That cover looks to fit the seat perfect so if it is an IH/Cub seat then who knows? I never saw one like that before. About the deck, yours is OK, some with tensioner some not. I've had both and as JeffinPa pointed out the tension arms wear and then the pulley runs the belt crooked. I like better without. My vote is freshen it up and keep it.

If it were mine I would keep it. I have a 102 that went through what yours did and received a restore job over a year ago. Those are real workhorses that just are not made anymore.

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.
