I got most of the steering and console cleaned up today. Hopefully in the next few days I can get it all in primer.

I had my work cut out for me this morning. First off I had to take off the oil pan and fix the motor mount threads. Got them drilled out on the milling machine then red lock tight the Helicoils in. Two holes were bad so I just did all four. Next I got the engine in. been waiting for that. Well my first mistake was putting the engine cover on before I put the throttle/govr linkage on. Thank goodness that I have some special tools and I was able to go through a very small opening and put the backing washer and nut on. With that all done on with the second mistake. I know everyone believes in Murphy's law. I sure do. While putting on the top tin I dropped one of the 7/16 bolts right down the oil fill hole. Not sure how that happened but you know Murphy he's watching your every move. Luckally I had all the oil drained. I have some of the rare earth magnets and put one in the end of a gas line dropped it down in the crank case and oh yeah I got it. So everything turned out positive Now waiting on the drive shaft to go in.

Sorry it's been a while. Don't want anyone to think I quit this clean up. Been real busy with other stuff but I did manage to get quite a bid done on the 1250. I got the hood down to bear metal and I should have it painted and put on within a week. I've got it wired and running. I need to find a gas tank for it. I just had a guy give me a 129. It's locked up and I think it is going to be a parts tractor for me. I may be able to use the gas tank off it. What do you guys think.

No problem putting the 129 tank in the 1250. I did something similar on a 1450 I built for my daughter. Looks like you are really making some progress now.

Very nice work on the restoration of this tractor. I enjoyed the pictures. Bolt down the oil tube now that's one for the books
Regards,

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.
