If 1st gear is too fast for what your doing,the creeper gear option is the only way to go.It won't be a added maintenance item,you'll wonder how every gear drive didn't come that way after owning a hydro. Good luck.

I love how a fella can go from pondering a project to gathering
all kinds of great information by simply putting a question out to
you all.
I had read all through my chassis manual and did not see the
chart Ironman posted. Maybe I just missed it. Or were there multiple
manuals?
Am thinking this project is gonna be a go. It's something to live
in a place where there are not Cubs to buy and work on so one just
keeps coming up with new reasons to tear into the ones he owns.

So a couple more questions. Can someone explain how this
creeper gear actually works?
When I look at the info for the speeds. Once the creeper is installed
does it totally take the place of the original gears? So first second and
third are only available at those speeds of the creeper. I hope that question
makes sense.
Thanks
Ken

The creeper unit is just a small gearbox that mounts to the front of the transmission.
When NOT engaged the creeper output RPM is the same as the driveshaft input (one to one) into the transmission so your speeds remain as normal.
When the creeper is engaged the output RPM is reduced, affecting all transmission gears.

Here is one I had all apart, shift collar is what moves the input shaft to the lower gear.

With dark minion 17 as your back up,Ken go for it,you'll wonder how you did with out it.Then you will have a versatile tractor.Just make sure you have a sharp hack saw.Like the rest of these old girls,that steel in the drive shaft will give your arm and hack saw a work out

Great pictures and info and thanks again.
I was able to make contact with the fella selling one out
of a 122. Looks like we are going to make that work.
Love getting my winter projects arranged.

Just curious as to what it is in the creeper that weakens the driveline? There's spirol pins in the driveline already, so another one shouldn't be weaker than the ones that are already in it (unless they are smaller in diameter or a different type).

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.
