Hello from eastern PA

[Jeff in Pa]

Hello everyone, I'm Jeff and got my first Cub Cadet in '03 when we purchased this home. I'm up in the far NE corner of Montgomery County, right where Lehigh and berks counties come together.

I have a 1968 125 that I purchased from a co worker that included a 42" cast iron end mowing deck, a Trac Vac system, a QA-42 snow thrower, a set of chains and a 42" dirt/snow blade.

I also picked up a 1966 122 with creeper gear from a good friend of mine when he moved his mechanics business. That 122 was purchased by the previous property owner brand new. It now resides exactly 1.8 miles away.

I've rebuilt both K-301's in my Cubs and they both run great. I've built a weight bracket that fits on the Trac Vac bracket to hold about 250 lbs of steel plate for snow removal.

I've added lights to both and also rear lifts. The 125 has IH spring assist and the 122 has both the IH spring assist plus the Brinly spring assist. I have fluid filled tires on both now too ( 125 has 10.50's and the 122 has 8.50's ). I have also added a 1A tiller, a brinly style adapter for a brinley plow too.

Since everybody loves pics, here's some clickable ones

The "crew" ready for snow duty this year ( the 125 has chains on it now ) plus the Gilson 62 lb wheel weights


These are my "go to" tractors. I mow every week ( when the grass is growing ) and use them as they were intended.
