New guy seeking input
New guy here, looks like there will be a lot of useful information here in my near future, ( maybe ). I’ve been wanting an old cub for a while. Just happen to come across a local 127 for $150. I looked at it today. Not knowing much about the older models, I had to believe what the owner told me. “It’s not running, it does have compression. Newly rebuilt starter generator, good transmission. Needs a wire harness.”
It did have some wire harness that I Think could be salvaged. Missing the choke and lift (?). The handle on the right side appears to be broken or cut off. I’m assuming that’s for the deck? I noticed a couple drops of oil underneath after rolling it back although that is the least of my worries. Is there anything specific to look out for? It’s certainly not the prettiest, but I’m not looking for show quality. I want to clean it up and put it to work. Seems like $150 is hard to go wrong, but I may be mistaken. ANY input is greatly appreciated. And I apologize if I did not post this in the correct location, it seemed most appropriate. Thanks! PS I’m an auto mechanic, so I like projects.

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.
