I'm back...
The last thing I posted was in 2015. So ifigured I should write another one since some people may wonder why I havent been on in so long. I lost the cub fever for a long while in favor of old three wheelers. While still holding onto all of our cubs they just sat for a good year or so. I feel really bad because I made all these promises to people that their cubs are going to good place and I kinda broke them. Now I'm in College learning the trade of autobody. Which is very beneficial knowledge for restoring cubs. MY dads moving to his own house and I want to restore one of our many Cubs for him. I need help picking one out so I came here.
I have the junkyard 123 I saved back in 2015, a 149 with a really smokey motor, a freshly restored 147 with a blown motor(PO rebuilt engine incorrectly), a 169 with piston slap( another broken promise from a person I bought from here). I have many more to chose from. I myself like the 123 since itll be a challenge. what do you guys think?

If your going to build a tractor for your Dad I recommend you do one with hydraulic lift, his arm will be thankful.
What school are you going to to learn autobody?

I might pick the 149. Great tractor. Sounds like it is mostly complete. Do the motor rebuild, some paint work to practice your autobody skill with, and you are there without needing to search for a lot of parts.
And maybe with a straight forward plan it will be possible to make it all the way through (do something simple first - it always takes more time and $$ than you think) Good luck and give us progress pictures!

My vote is for the 123, but maybe I am biased. No, the hydraulic lift on the 149 for good ole' dad would be the best option for now. Besides, the 149 is likely to have more implements readily available for him since it is a QA and the 123 is not.
Great to hear from you once again!! What college are you attending? I went to Vassar before it became coed in'69, to major in a different kind of body work, Female Anatomy in Braille. Cub Cadet 123

I should mention the 123 has the spring assist. I do like the 149 too. It's such a hard choice. Haha They'll both eventually get their turn no matter which one I choose.

Good to see you back! My IH Cub Cadet addiction began when I was around 12 years of age, and I'm not ever going anywhere here!
Sure would be a nice choice for dad is the 149, with out mentioning again. But, I love the 123's just as much! Thanks for sharing! Have a good day guys!

Due to popular choice I'll be doing the 149. I would definitely like to do the 123 in the future. Once i start gathering parts I'll start a good old resto thread.
In the mean time I'm trying to save for a down payment on a new car (sick of driving old junk with over 200,000 miles.)

It's ok to fall out of the hobby for a while. Coming back to it means it's something you truly enjoy which is a good thing. I like to do model railroading and I fell out of that for a few years. I got back into it and it was fun all over again, so I can (sort of ) relate.

Good to have you back Connor! Now quit breaking promises and get to work, you're forgiven! PS did you collect any Honda ATC250R's? If you did hold on to them.

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.
