Default Almost there!

finally have my 125 back on all fours! I'm losing the battle against mother nature, but any day that has been warm enough I've been slapping paint onto the 125, and I finally have enough pieces finished that it's back on all fours.

(disclaimer: the photo quality of my phone has drastically decreased since getting a waterproof case for it. some pics are good, others very fuzzy.)

here's some shots of the squalor that is my shed, complete with heavy film of yellow haze.













My original muffler was still in good shape, so I gave it a coat of hi-temp silver to keep it looking good and lasting long!



also, for durability's sake, painted my foot pads with bedliner.



Also, got a new toy for it: a hydraulic lift!



It needs some new lines and a couple pieces are missing (spacers between bracket and the frame and the lockout clevis), but I'm looking forward to easy lifting of the plow or snowblower! thanks to member markmdz!

hoping to have the machine back together and running by thanksgiving weekend!

Thumbs up

I must applaud your effort and dedication! Your IH Cub Cadet 125 will certainly look great, and I like the way you mounted the IH wheel weights on the back side of the rear rims! That's the way I have mine installed too!

Keep up the good work!

Yellow Haze? Isn't that a Jimi Hendrix song?

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.
