I like 104s..... when you say they have a lift spring and weights; those by themselves are expensive enough. One is missing a hood ornament and the other is installed backwards; an easy fix. As far as no lights go; those are easy to install as well, dad did it on his 125 some years ago.

You could sell the weights, one of the seats, the rear lift off one, and a few other high dollar parts, take the rest of the parts you need to make one good runner, and part the rest out of the parts tractor and end up financing a total refurb. Id say you are in good shape. The wheel weights go for $150 for the pair and the spring assist between $50-$100 Rear lifts $75-$125. Thatll pay for a rebuild kit for the motor, misc repair parts, and paint.

Folks, I'd like to retract my statement in the first post that some may view I doubted these tractors were bought from their original owner. I was not aware they currently belong to a member here. There's no way I would intentionally question the integrity of anyone on this site. I still do not know which member I insulted, but again I sincerely apologize. Wanted to "make it right" by posting this statement.

I think you did good. Sometimes I will get something fixed up and keep for a while then get bored with it and get something different to work on. So now you have something to work on and have fun. Congrats.

I think you did ok. If you enjoy working on them and the challenge of getting them running, more power to you.
But sometimes it's just nice to enjoy what you've accomplished, and work em'

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.
