Dads 122
Dad bought this new in 65. Somewhere along the line he bought an 1812 and this sat. In 93 I borrowed it. Used it a couple of times and it threw the rod through the block. I stuck it in the shed. Around 2001 I found an engine. I took the entire tractor apart an was going to redo it. Life got in the way and it sat in boxes. In 2010 I decided to put it back together as is. Rebuilt the clutch and steering box. Got it all ready to go and the engine wouldn’t turn over against the compression. Pulled the cam cover and the ACR tab was broken off. Got a cam but again life happened and it sat. Finally this summer I decided to go at it. Pulled the engine to replace the cam. It had been bored .020 over. The bore and piston measured good but the rod and crank where scored. Had the crank turned .020 under and got a .020 under rod and had the valves faced. Deglazed the cylinder and put new rings in it. Now after 27 years it back together and runs like a champ. I think I like it with the patina. I’ll give it to the grandson when he gets a little older.

That’s a great story and a nice Cub. It looks good to me just as it is I would definitely leave it alone.

Cubs are great, but there is nothing like your dads cub. I chased my dad's 106 cub around for 6 years and never found it. Aren't you glad now that you did not restore it before, liking it to the original shape that your dad left it in? It will be great to see the grandson smile when he rides it for the first time! Quality is certainly something to last and pass on to the next generation. Just curious about the year, as I did not think the 122 was out until '66.

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.
