I've learned not to take tight corners with my plug aerator behind the "O".... it's like trying to make a u turn with a spool hub.

Nice lawn and nice tractor and implements! I've never seen a plugger with a roller behind it...

Default Tenn. Cub 126

Took the blades off the 48" mower and sharpened them. Then mowed about 3/4 acre of blackberry canes. Yikes, not a fun job, but it sure looks better. I am amazed what this little guy can handle, 1" blackberries, pine and gum saplings, too! When I checked the belts both of them were in pretty bad shape. I want to get a backup set but I need to find the correct number for the 2 belts, the PTO belt has "IH 490489 R2" embossed on it, but I can't find anything on the spindle belt. Would appreciate any help in finding that number.
Have a great day on your cubs. ~ Chris

Check the parts look-up. There is a link at the top of this page. Type in your model number and choose the correct deck.

By the way, we love pictures.

Drained all the water and snot out of the rear end of the 1969 124 for the first fluid change since I’ve owned it. Made a new gasket out of a sheet of cork.

It amazes me how clean the rear is after years of water sitting in it.

Added bonus, I don’t have to rock back and forth on the tractor anymore to get it to go into gear.

Pulled off the blade and chained turf tires and put on the ag tires. Need to hook up the disc and sow some more grass seed around the barn.

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.
