My newly-acquired 102 came with a single, kind of mangled key. It works, but looks like it could break off any time. So I want to get a spare key or 2 and retire the 1966-vintage original.
Trouble is, I haven't been able to find one. I tried the local Ace, who have belped me in the past with keys for my 1959 boat, but they didn't have a blank. The local Cub Cadet dealer had only newer-model keys, and apparently RF Houtz is permanently closed at least on the retail side. Their website was kind of a dead end for the key. Any ideas where I can get the correct blanks to make new keys? My key has a letter G on it. Thanks Steve

I have got them from the local Cub Cadet dealer, but it has been a few years, so I don't know if they still have them.
If it helps you, I've found that my 123 and 125 use the same key and at a show some years back, I did a survey of available friends tractors that were on display to see what keys they used. I found that my CC keys would fit just about any IH tractor, not just Cub Cadets, from the mid-'50's when they first started using keys up into the 56 series. There was nothing newer to try, but who knows? Specifically, they fit a 350, a 560, a 756 and a 660, that I tried. They were all keyed the same. You might try expanding your key search to a Case/IH dealer. Take your key along and see if it matches up. |

123 doesn’t use an Indak key. It has a toothed key like a car key.

Factory key from my 122. I think all the narrow frames used them.

Opppps......I stand corrected.
I assumed the "stamped key" was the standard issue for all Cub Cadets. IH did use a notched Key IH-131313-C2 Key up until the Quietlines.

Tooth key, yes, and I do stand corrected. My other narrow frames has the groove and tooth key. The 125 I normally use has an Indak key in it. The keyhole does look like it takes a grooved key and I should note that this key switch turns with a regular screwdriver. Probably all the tumblers stuck or or worn out. I recall a while ago that I lost a key and I guess I found a flat Indak. Sorry for any confusion.

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.
