Pulled this from behind a friends shed. It had been sitting several years. Rebuilt the carburetor new plug and blew out a couple pounds of mouse houses and it starts and drives. I had to rig a fuel tank, I was able to buy a used one from this site I tried to up load a video of it running but couldn’t

Yesterday, I hauled 1,400 lbs of patio pavers with the 129 and homemade 1-ton cart from the barn to the path I’m building from the house to the barn. The tires didn’t pop, so it passed the stress test.

I used the Agri-Fab rake to rake the stone driveway after a recent storm washed huge gullies in it. Also did the bottom of the neighbor's driveway and the street in front of both. This might be the best implement purchase I've ever made. Love this thing!

Here's a pic from earlier this year.

Went to Allen and Jenn's house and worked on his "O".

Come home and planned an engine swap between a 122 and 123

Default Pulled engine for rebuild!

Tonight, I checked the valve tappet clearance on my IH Cub Cadet’s Kohler K161 7hp engine and found it to be in the close enough range and don’t think that is why it makes flames in the muffler. The motor also runs pretty high and won’t idle. So I removed the engine so that I can rebuild it this Winter. This will be my first time rebuilding a motor. I plan on using the ultimate rebuild kit from isavetractors.com.

Default 122 headlights

Figured it was past time to get the wiring done for my 122 lights since it came on the tractor but just never got around to hooking it back up after a refresh a couple years ago. Well first headlight came on and looks great. Second one came on, smoked then went out. Darn 60 year old bulbs anyway. Robbed parts out of license plate light to fix the taillight, the bottom of the light socket was missing.

There's some great LED replacement headlights (PAR 36?) that work great.

I cleared the clogged gas line on my 122. Put on a new shift knob, removed the wheels and took them to the tire dealer for new ag tires on rear and 3 rib tires on the front. Replaced the torn seat with a new one.

Default Battery cut-off

Do you use a battery cut-off switch on your vintage Cub Cadet? If so, what kind do you use?

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.
