they're both in pretty rough shape at the moment.

I pulled the 122 into the garage this past weekend and tried to get her fired up. PTO is done. It won't disengage, and because the tiller is still on it, it's that much more of a fight getting it to start. I have a new set of points, condenser, plug and wire on the way to the house now. I'm getting spark, but it's weak at best. The good news is that although it's being a little ornery, I think it'll start without too much trouble.

The 122 is pretty riddled with rust, but I've got a much cleaner set of fenders, seat bracket, rear brace, etc that I'll swap onto it once it warms up a bit.

The 123 is a bit of a mess. The motor was replaced with a 10, and at some point whoever replaced it obviously needed a new starter and only found/had one that spun the wrong direction, so he fab'd up a bracket and mounted the starter to the nose. In the process of removing the old engine, he trashed the frame by bending it out easily 1-1.5" around the engine. That's the bad news. Good news is that I'm primarily a "100 guy" so the engine will find it's way into a 100 soon enough. The Haban will also go on a 100 or one of my loaded 122's at some point this spring.

I'm on the fence on what to do with the 123 at that point. I may bite the bullet and call it a donor, or I may stick to my guns of not wanting to part machines out, and fix it up with a proper 301, straighten (or swap) the frame rails, and slap a deck on it and call it a mower. ...but again, I'm on the fence with it.

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.
