The 129 Earning Its Keep
Just thought I'd share what kind of seat time I've been getting lately on the Cub. I had a company contact me to handle lawn care on 10+ properties that had been foreclosed on by various banks. With those properties and the customers I already had, the 129 is seeing even more work now than it did this spring.
Here's a nasty one I had to cut down yesterday:  Good pic of the headlights I installed, and you get an idea of what horrible shape this lawn was in. Had to stop periodically to clean clippings out of discharge chute in order to keep mowing:   Me cussin' cause I just realized my steering started clunking:  Funny note: the bank makes me take before, during, and after pics of every lawn. Total of about 30 pics per property. Such a pain in the rear, but the silver lining to that is I am amassing a HUGE collection of pictures of the Cub and my other equipment in action

GitrDone-
That's actually exactly my plan. Slowly but surely, one 20.00 bank owned property at a time. They're holding my pay, which I was originally upset about - but now I see it as a way to save up for the engine. By the time my first check rolls in for a month's worth of mowing, I'll be in business! Till then, I just keep babying her, keep everything greased, tuned, and do oil changes 2 times a week (really). I also give the Cub a break every 1.5 hrs of hard work and add oil to keep it full. Like the paint? I'm too busy to do a full resto, so me and my daughter occasionally head out to the garage and paint a small section at a time with those 4" foam rollers. It's not perfect, but I really like the color. It has a little orange-ish hue to it. For any who are wondering, its Transport Yellow from TSC.

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.
