I got out my 125 and 72 yesterday! I removed the battery, fuel, cleaned the sediment bowl, and removed and cleaned out the carb. bowl on my 125. I then blew the 125 off with compressed air, and covered it up,.... it's now in storage mode!

I got this a few months back with a broken connecting rod, it was really dirty but I could tell the paint would look decent all cleaned up. I had a good running engine that I dropped in and after a new head gasket it's purring like a kitten and after a good bath it cleaned up and looks really nice in it's work clothes. Now I just have to decide if I want to put a deck on it and sell it off or keep it to plow out at my mother in law's this winter, I love the 124's so I know which way I'm leaning. Plus I just happen to have one of the nicest original grille's I've ever seen and it looks sweet mounted in the tractor.

Tim I think it cleaned up real nice. One of the nicest narrow frame ever produced!! Terry I will most likely do the same to the 72 and get it back out when it's time to mount the IH 56" snow blade. I have to focus on the 1450 and get this Cadet 111 squared around and build a lean too off the side of the shop. The 1211 is coming back as well!!

played pit crew mechanic most of the day
nothing today yet/ but yesterday I had to fix 3 of them (only 1 of them mine)
1250/ flat tire, showing a bit of dry rot in a front tire, which isn't that old... maybe 3-4 years old. (the originals lasted WAY longer) so I had to tube it. could not get the tire off the spindle, I actually had to take the tire and spindle off whole, take it home, and pop it in my press, inner bearing came out of rim and stayed on spindle... weird. 1200 w/50" deck.... deck belt. that belt was a Gates green, only 1/2 a season old... then took it out and mowed with it at the owner's house, got in some heavy stuff and squealed it a time or 2, can see why the other one didn't last.... 1200 w/ 44c deck/ nother deck belt, nother Gates green, also not that old... had the partial shields on that one so that I didn't have to remove the deck to swap the belt... have used these belts in the same size on these decks before with much better "luck". this one is my machine but kept out at same place as the 2 above an let him use as a backup to his 2, since he lets me store stuff in his barn w/o charging me anything for storage... (not a Cub, but also kept at same spot when not using, property owner don't use this one because it is quirky to start 'til I get out there w/a new ign switch) my new Holland S14H ....some reason of all my machines, my wife's favorite. sometimes we mow some of his yard (I'll guess it at 3-1/2 to 4 acres) to help him out for his letting us store our "junk" there...only bad thing? its 30 miles from home which makes it a bit inconvenient at times for me, well I knew I had something to do to all 3 Cubs, so I figured i'd get her started mowing 1st as I played "pit crew" and this one too had a flat tire... I have a 5hp Briggs powered compressor there but needed the air hose for my home compressor.... so wasn't able to be used. Luckily the property owner had one of those portable air tanks and it was full even... easiest fix of the day. then I put the spindle and tire on the 1250, got the property owner going on that one, put the deck belt on the 44c and mowed a few mins myself/ then went back to the barn and put the deck belt on the 50", and mowed nearly a tanks worth of gas out of that one, all 3 of us mowing by that point, property owner ran the 1250 outta gas, New Holland was still going as it has a huge (4-1/2 gallon) under seat tank... With having to re-mow about 1/2 of the yard, and 2 machines running most of the time, 3 machines running part of the time, and me playing pit crew mechanic the rest of the time, we were in and outta there in just over 3 hours.... usually when we go out there to play with my junk we'll mow about 1/2 of the place, the "back yard" around the barns and corn crib, the property owner regularly mows about an acre (about 1/2 the front yard plus about 1/2 the back yard in between my wife and me getting out there to do it for him) his cash rent tenants are "supposed to" mow out the front half of the front yard out to the road but don't always "get to" it so we mowed the whole thing yesterday.... he was pizzed the tenants hadn't been out to do "their" part in supposedly 6 weeks... all 3 Cubs are K301 powered, the S14 is an M12 kohler I have the original K321 from that machine awaiting a trip to the machine shop... unbelieveable how much a 12HP Kohler can and will do without a complaint, if these were current-day machines with those sized decks, their engines would be stickered with 24 or 26HP.... the property owner's 1200 and 1250's engines have never been rebuilt and neither uses oil..... and still quite powerful. My 2 have both been rebuilt.... the M12 has about 1/2 a season's use on it, and pulls a 48" deck like it isn't even there, my 1200 was rebuilt this past offseason and "only" has to pull a 44" deck.... both rebuilt engines have 100% OEM Kohler parts used in their rebuilds. this coming offseason all will need their engines yanked, tin yanked and blown out...

Cleaned up the planter and got it ready to put away for the year
Garden season is all done here.. Decided I'd clean up and oil the old planter rig and put her in the shed! The 128 helped too!

John, the 125 and 72 are a couple good looking tractors.
Tim, fine looking 124, and that grill, she's a beauty. Don't see em' that nice very often. Yeah Jay, unfortunately, planting season is finished. Wish it was just starting, cause as Sam would say. "I hate snow"...

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.
