Default Spring Assist Question
Hi... My 125 was missing the rear panel that goes between the fenders, so I picked one up and went to put it on but found this spring assist bracket is in the way. After some research here I see that this spring that attaches to the implement handle appears to be an original accessory to aid lifting heavy implements. Is it installed correctly? If so does that mean I should not have the rear panel fitted if I have the spring assist? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick answer. Shame I sourced and repainted a rear panel for nothing but oh well.

Yes it does! I couldn't get the bottom panel bolts in with the spring bracket in the way but will try again tomorrow. Or maybe just use the top panel bolts, which in retrospect should be fine. That panel is just decorative after all.

My 123 with the spring assist on the lift looks exactly like that 125 in the picture, as did my 125 before I put a hydraulic lift on it.

That looks better. Attaches with just top panel bolts with spring assist.

Yeah. Dad's 125 has a spring assist and a top panel, has had it for years. Glad you got it figured out.

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.
