Hey All,

Finally got registered and just wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a 128 in decent shape and planned on a restoration, but not sure how far in depth I want to go. I have found this site very useful so far and plan to use it every step of the way. This is my first IH Cub and I'm pumped to get started. I also have a LT-1050, but that is the reason I picked up the IH, a real tractor. Thanks for having me.

You are in store for a wild ride back in time, old school tractor rebuilding 101!! Trying to finish my 125, what a lot of fun the boys and I had!! I had expected to teach my boys how to drill and tap a old bolt hole, not 1 broke! The instructions say to coat the bolts w/ oil before re-assembly, I'm guessing this 125 just got it's 2nd re-build. The original paint was found under the seat, on the frame, ( the brush they used wouldn't reach), and high up on the trans. My engine is not the original, but a replica from 1981, the head is AL., and was warped a little, sanded it down, and works perfectly!
Good luck with yours, if dis-assembly is as easy as mine, I'm sure you'll do a complete job.

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.
