Bought a 125 today
Had a local carpenter guy I know stop by last night (Tue) and asked if I still buy old cubs. I asked him how old, and he was like, I don't know, it's old.
Well of course I needed to find out more. So he gave me the guys name and number, come to find out he lives just three miles away  I made the call and went over to see this "old" cub. The guy and I get talking, and find out him and my father used to drink beer together at the local tavern years ago, good....Then we talked politics, presidents, global warming, had a good laugh, and finally he asked if I want to see the tractor. So we go over to the barn, he opens the door, and there is a poop covered 125 with 48" deck, no extras, that's it, plain Jane. Well he begins to tell me the story about the tractor. It was purchased at our local IH dealer, Gillett Implement in 1968 by the County Highway Department. Traded back in 1972 to the same dealer where this guy bought it. He said it had a new engine and a repaint. It does have the black replacement engine and a real dull paint, almost looks orange. He's been using this tractor up till two years ago as his only mower, then bought a zero turn. Overall condition from what I could see of it stuck in the corner is fair. So tomorrow I go and pick it up, there will be pictures at that time. Lastly the guy asked me to continue taking care of "his girl" I told him, I would be happy to. Very cool listening and learning the life story of this old tractor. I think I got a heck of a Lew price even.

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.
