Looks great! Be careful with the battery being in the opposite way, almost looks like the hold down is dangerously close to positive lug on battery

The battery hold down is close to the terminals but does have clearance. There's a piece of cardboard in there too.
I was very surprised the screws in the foot rests came right out with a big screwdriver. Found the previous owners name and address scratched in the foot rest support.
Took the seat pan off to looks at the trunnion. Yes it needed repaired. So I cut a small strip of steel and MIG welded it in place. While off I pressure washed the hydro of accumulated grease and grime.
The shifter lever was very loose, So I made a crows foot tool and was able to sneak in and tighten the nut on the hydro lever. That was not easy but tightened the lever up a lot.
With the trunnion repaired and the lever tightened it seemed to do a good job holding in neutral.
Changed the oil. Removed and cleaned the deck, sharpened the blades. The baffle was toast so I removed what was left.
Tractor mows good, and had 14 volts at the battery when running. Repaired some wire ends, and general clean up.
Hope things are good out there. Will post some pictures if I get a chance.

Regards,
Chris

Todd,
I have to go look at some other Cubs. You may be right about the seat pan being upside down.
Regards,
Chris

Folks,
Glad to have another narrow frame Cub. Down side is, I really need some more room!!!

Todd,
My other 127 has the seat pan on the same way, with the lip up. Is that the part you are referring to?

Doug,
Good to hear from you.

John, Allen,
Thanks, Hope things are good in Cub land
Regards,
Chris

Yes it is, never seen one "upside down"
Maybe all of mine are wrong

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.
