I have attached a picture my 1200 QL that my 12 year old is mowing with. I went with my step dad to buy it off the original owner in 1981, I was 5. When I was about 10, my step dad left, so I inherited the cub. I mowed with it until I moved out at the age of 21. It sat in my mom's shed for 18 years. I told her to keep it because I would want it when I moved to an acreage.
Well, that finally happened and I am reliving my childhood and passing down the feeling to my own kids. I did not prepare the 1200 for long term storage, so after sitting 18 years, it needed some serious attention. Some of the attention was above my abilities, so I took it to the local cub cadet expert and he got it running like a champ.

The 1200 is a great little tractor. I have one also and love to plow with it.
Get your boy a plow and some weights for that rig and join us next spring at a plow day. If we are lucky and the weather holds there will be one, hopefully, up north of us. You missed a great one last month at Buck Creek. I'm located 40 miles west of Dubuque on HWY 20. Drop me a PM for directions and stop by some time and chat. I have a shed full of Cubs, currently restoring a 126. Dave S

Great story and welcome! Nice looking original 1200 and that is great that you kept it for that long. There are a lot of great people on here and a wealth of information including service manuals, parts, wiring diagrams, Etc the list goes on.

Good suggestion finsruskw!
I couldn't agree more with getting a plow. I picked one up a couple weeks ago. It isn't pretty, but it was cheap! I didn't notice how bent the frame was until I had to squeeze the hangers together to get it to fit.
Oh, I also couldn't resist this #2 cart. The PO painted it yellow. He said he just liked yellow better when I asked why. It doesn't bother me, and my boys love it.

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.
