Picked up a 124
Picked this old boy up yesterday from a fella for $50 bucks. Looks rough without tires but it's actually in descent condition. The only thing that I can see missing is the seat and grill. I took the head off first thing to check it all out and scrub off the carbon. It looked good. The starter generator was junk so I put a spare on that I had but it spins the opposite direction so no go. It's got spark so it should go. I have a couple questions. The wiring all looks good but there is no key. Are these keys all one of a kind or do I need to change the ignition? The other question is can I send off the good starter generator and have it made to turn the opposite direction? Well another Cub saved.

I am pretty sure a generator shop can fix the your clockwise starter to a counterclockwise starter, but I would get the original starter fixed. Its probably the same money. I suspect the armature is wound different for the CCW vs. the CW.
I think all 124 keys are the same (even though thy are cut different). I bought a couple off fleabay (don't buy them from fleabay: the keys are reasonable, but they screw you with handling and shipping charges!). Your CC dealer may have one in stock. If you can't get one cheap, I will send you one.

Thanks for the reply. I called my local starter/ alternator shop and he quoted me $100 dollars to change the rotation. I got it running today with a battery and coil. Runs very well. I am uploading a video on ebay as I type. It will be under rdmanone.

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.
