Got it!
Just brought the 104 home, put on a new battery, and cut the yard. Love it. Let's see: chickens, vegetable garden, tractor. Not much city left in this old boy.
Have a couple of minor problems, such as I can't get the key out of the ignition switch, so she'll live in the garage for a while. Pics later tonight, I hope. Conig

 Conig!! The first two digits of the tractor number indicate the hp, unless it has been repowered. So a 123 has a 12 hp on it and a 149 has a 14 hp on it, and so on...I plow snow, run a tiller, run a disc etc. with my 73 and it has plenty of power for that. A set of needle nose plyers might help you to get that stuck key out of the ignition switch, but in all honesty, a small flathead screwdriver will start those old machines! We're looking forward to seeing some pictures of your cub on the forum. Welcome once again....  Cub Cadet 123

Cub Cadet 104 - Pictures
Still looking for the serial number (I'm "directionally-challenged", as in, I don't follow directions well so I'm still looking for it, despite reading descriptions of where it is supposed to be). Ignition key still stuck, despite gentle probing with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Blades need sharpening so I'm soon to learn how to take off, clean, and remount the mower deck. It needs a good cleaning and polishing. Bits and pieces appear to be missing or jury-rigged. Will have to download a manual. Is the 70+100 model manual the correct one (it show's lights and I don't have lights)? Here are five pictures taken after I mowed the grass.

Nice looking 104 you have there. I have one myself and it has plenty of power to do mowing, snow plowing, and garden plowing. Mine has lights, spring assist and rear lift but i dont have a creeper gear(yet).

Sweet 104! Congrats! The serial number is on the back of the tractor you'll see a chrome and black tag on the left side of the axle housing. Look for the round plug and it's to the left of it. I can see it on your 4th pic.
Thanks for the pics too!

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.
