Yes that’s exactly what those were. I was in high school before I realized that my dad made the weights out of kids plastic sand buckets. 2 acre yard, 7 horse cub, timed blades no guards....still remember the instructions
..... “ it’s real simple, you ever get off that tractor without disengaging mower you will loose at least one toe!”......
Since I didn’t want to be “ nine toe Nate “ the rest of my life, I followed the old mans instructions to the letter...

Great old picture Nate, thanks for sharing.
Come up to WI if you're looking for a pretty nice Original. Got one ready to go. Just have to push it out of the living room, add fuel, and drive it onto your truck/trailer.

More rain, more driveway repair. Flat tire on the old trailer, had to break out the #2. Got to put scratches in it sometime.

Today, I changed the oil, greased, and checked the transmission/final drive fluid. I just Had to get the 1250 Nightmare ready for the parade on Saturday. Tomorrow, a new spark plug and a little shine, and it will be ready to load and go.

Don't know if I'm "dying" to get rid of it, but "Almost" everything does have a price...

I’ve been keeping an eye out for an original to restore. They just don’t come up for sale around me that often. Last weekend a buddy of mine I hadn’t seen in a while stopped by. He saw the 125 and said he would love to have something like that. Says that he can get his grandpas old cub and I can restore it for him. (I always like it when people say that, ‘ sure swing it by one Saturday, we can knock it out before super ‘..... ) he hasn’t seen the tractor in about 5 years, but it’s been in the family for 40-45 years. It’s a 1971 cub cadet. I show him some google images, but he thinks his looks different. I tell him to take some pics and let me see.

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.
