Default My 129 in SW VA

Well now that I have her running again I thought I would post some pics. This is my 129 more or less as I bought her.
I have a small homestead about 6 acres, not enough land to warrant anything larger than a sub compact tractor..but they are out of my price range plus I like to have projects I can tinker with, so an old garden tractor was perfect. Now that I have chased all the gremlins out of the engine, I can finally start putting it to use around my place. I noticed she does not like to sit still with the brake engaged so I will be putting on some new pads. After that I am considering Ag tires and rigging up some front weights and possibly wheel weights. I live in the mountains and have lots of bumpy inclines. I have been losing driving and steering traction as I have been mowing I think they would go a long way towards negative that.

Did you take those pictures with a Polaroid? Looks straight out of the 70's.

Glad you got it up and running.

Nothing wrong with a Polaroid or a potatocam the tractor looks good.

In the short term, you could air down your tires some, particularly in the rear. Beach drivers and drag racers all do the same thing for the same reason: Get more traction .

Nice tractor!

Hell with that. Get some 23 degree firestones; they look and work way better.

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.
