Default New to me 1250

I just purchased a 1250 from the original owner with only 340 hours in very nice condition. They converted it to foot drive and I think it is hard to operate if the terrain is not smooth. It really feels touchy. I have been considering putting it back to dash lever operation, but would like a picture of what the linkages look like in a tractor. The parts manual is hard to see the orientation of things.
Need to post some pictures when I get a chance. Also it came with a really nice snow plow and chains. Any pictures would be a great help. It appears to have the parts inside the dash, just not hooked up. This is a nice addition to the 149 I am restoring right now. At least I can use this one right now!!
Thanks, Mark

Mark,

Here are a few photos of the speed control linkage inside the dash (tower) of a 1450. The vertical steering column is visible in the first photo, and the zinc rod running left to right is the hydraulic lift lever.

Roy,

Thanks for the pictures. On the other side of the lower rusty rod I think that would have a small rod running to the trunion plates if I am correct. ?? I need to post a few pictures of the Cub for everyone to see. Just need to get over to my Moms place where it is currently. The picture posting thing for me has not been good so far. It seems to be a lot more work than it should be to post. Maybe I am doing something wrong!!

Mark,

That sounds right. I have two 1450 towers in the garage and that's what I used for the photos. Obviously they are not connected to the trunion plate, that's why I didn't show that connection. I'll try and get the trunion connection photo for you.

As for attaching photos, click the paper clip icon, which will bring up a box from which you can browse your hard drive for the photo you want to open and attach. Just make sure the photo is small enough to be uploaded.

On the far right of the rusty rod (Control Rockshaft Assy - part 19) is a short bar to which is attached a joint and foot long rod (Connecting Stud - part 11). The joint on the other end of the rod connects to the bottom hole of the plate (Control Cam Assy - part 6). The parts illustration suggests the rod (Control Rod Assy - part 14) that connects to the brake pedal shaft via part 15 also goes into the bottom hole, but it actually connects elsewhere.

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.
