I believe I'm in the right area, thanks to Dwayne and his great help. I felt 30 years younger today, as I "played with my toy" as my wife put it!! God is good. He allows us old fogies to be like a kid and have some good ol' fashioned fun. I welcome any advice you guys have for me and help to achieve my lawn mowing and plowing goals. Manfred:beer2:

first q? already!
 

How old is my machine in the above post--see the pics? and where do I find a number and plate of any kind. The Kohler has a number, but I think that is just the motor, or an I mistaken? Manny

Your link is bad in the first post, it's incomplete.
Here's the one I copied from the Intro section

I have a model 122 ( 12 hp version of your machine ) and mine was made in 1966. If you have the serial number off the plate on the rear, you can check yours out too here http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7114 .

Here's the video link! I really enjoyed that!

Great 102...the engine sounds really good too. It's good to have some toys to keep us having fun and enjoying life.

Welcome!

Great video. I'm impressed with the courage you have to park on top of a storm drain! If I had done that my ignition key would be down the drain before I knew it.

Have fun with the cub. This is a great place for advice - check the technical section to find a link to an owner's manual and a service manual. Invaluable aids. My 104 tends to "lose" something each time I run it. I'm getting to know the parts vendors pretty well. Be prepared.

Someone posted regarding the small plate in the back, with the serial number. I looked right past mine twice before I saw it.

Have fun with the 102.

Great vid! I enjoyed it.

plaTE in back
 

I didn't see anything, but I'm gonna check post haste!! Manny

Good beginning into cub nation. Look out now, you started something you will never get enough of:biggrin2:

id plate in back???
 

I could not find any plate ANYWHERE and I really looked at the back. There is a casting stamped number (upside down) on the tranny, but that is a dana number. really,...dunno what year I bought. at this time it's just a guess.

Here's the plate on my 125, left side of the housing where the left axle tube bolts on.

The "extra" bracket on the back of your 122 is probably hiding your plate. I couldn't get a picture of my 122 as the tiller mount is covering it.

The plate on my 102 is on top of the rear on the flat spot.

Here's a very useful guide for finding serial numbers.

Wow! that's a lot of good info!
 

I appreciated the link to the serial # placement. It is probably hidden like you say on my model 102 by the hom-fabbed-hitch-rig. I'm not surprised that the casting number on the tranny is the same on mine and upside down. I missed the small square lock up front of the casting number. Really,...I shouldn't have a problem using all those pics to find something,...so OFF I GO! Manny

I.D. issues
 

Thanks for the pictures and the link to the forum guide to id. I have absolutely no plate on the rear housing. I do have a square pad on the casting near the 'dana' number of the tranny but it is smooth as glass, with no sign of any number stamp. i'll have to use acid to remove the paint and maybe it somehow glazed over the indented numbers, but I'm doubtful

worst case scenario, could a guy cross reference the Kohler serial and reverse-find the unit number it had been attached with? I DO HAVE THAT. If I find a number, I'll go to the seller and get a proper sales form, then to the ins. agent and get a street plate for it.

like the trucks were there line setting tickets?
