The grille looks pretty original to me.

As far as the engine goes; I've ran a 125 (12 HP) and a 147 (14 HP) and the only thing I notice is more power with the 14 HP. They sound/feel/smell the same.

Thanks for all the compliments. The dipstick is a shorty. Zippy it does not have the electric lift for it. There was a cobbled up mess for a lift arm on it. As far as the grill it is off of a 124. I have the correct grill for it as well. After decoding the serial # it is about midddle of the production run.

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.
