POs from Hell
I tore down 2 Cadets my son purchased and took a mess of pictures of which I managed to send half into some netherworld trying to load in my photo bucket! My son bought what I'm reasonably certain was my father in laws first cub with the Danco loader I chased this tractor for 2 years and my son buys it in 2 minutes on his first stop! He paid $400 and it runs but needs usual tune up stuff. I have torn it down and cleaned everything and am doing repairs as needed. He also picked up a second Cub, a 149 for parts. Besides the many missing bolts like the 149 transaxle being held in by 4 loose bolts instead of 6 tight ones I found some of the "repairs in the following pics ! This is the 125 as purchased we already did some digging etc. Just to find out if everything worked.the pistons leak like a sieve !
 In this shot you can see one of several "replacement bolts "I found before the tear down  How many times have you guys said "don't use a bolt in the steering arms"?  The tires don't match for a reason  No clue what the right spindle is from but the tire came with it  Lets see how do I get to that pesky throttle cable?This should work!   Why do you need a steering wheel puller?the steering box comes out easy!   This will fix that pesky headlight problem  I wonder why my clutch acts funny?  Unfortunately I lost as many more pics of the "upkeep" done on these 2 machines that I can show any bolt that threaded in a hole was "good to go" run a 4 inch bolt into a 1 inch deep hole then thread a nut down to tighten it etc. The frame on jack stand is the degreased and power washed 125 the loader has been stripped, sand blasted, and repainted and the cylinders have all been rebuilt so far. I've had new "International" and "Danco" decals reproduced (I can get more if anyone needs them) and we are replacing all hydraulic lines more pics will follow as I progress we are not "restoring". The 125 it's being prepared to work for a living but we want it to at least look good doing it!I'll also be photographing the restored loader parts and will measure everything for anyone wanting to build a loader later. I plan on coping it myself to put on the 682 and possibly on the 70 we have. Well this post is long enough just figured I'd start sharing my Newbie adventures in cub restoring

When you rebuild the cylinders, make sure and rebuild the control valve, too. The O-rings in my loader control valve are completely shot. When I still had it on another tractor, you could watch it sink. Now that I'm playing with it in the garage, i.e. moving the bucket by hand, fluid will run out of the return port on the valve without even moving the levers. I wonder if there's anything left of the O-rings at all...

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.
