Congrats on your 70! Nice patina too!

Looks to be August of 63

thanks for the info on the year im still trying to figure out if i have the correct mowing deck. this will be my light duty around the yard machine that will not be getting restored this tractor will remain in this patina and go to shows in an original condition. btw i only paid $75 for the tractor and the deck.

Congrats on the 70!
Post some pics of the deck.

will do im gonna head outside and take a couple pics of it

heres a pic of the deck that came with the 70 http://gardentractortalk.com/forums/...418_266870.jpg

when did they first start producing the model 70? an mine would be an earlier production then correct?

Congratulations on the 70.
I saw your tractor posted on CL.

That deck does appear to be the correct deck.
I'm sure others will chime in with more certantee and additional information.

you were looking in my neck of the wood on cl? elmira corning area? here the cl pics but i only paid $75 for it the kid was smoking something wanting 350 it took a bit to get it running the carb had to be pulled apart and cleaned up

Yes, I have a camp in Avoca, NY and travel from my home in central vermont quite often so I look for cubs along the corridor.

I just brought one back from that area this fall.

Great buy at $75!

Nice work!!

Nice 70! Congrats on the pickup. I think you did great by getting it for $75, especially if the seller started at $350! :beerchug:

thanks i also bought a 123 the same day for $75 also i havent had a chance to mess with it yet so until i do its sitting out back waiting its turn

WOW!!

You must be quite the negotiator!
Awesome work.

Great looking 123 as well...

well its started out as i was buying a 1015 cub for a friend an he was giving me his 129 with a blown motor we went to pay the girl with the 1015 who was at her dads house. the kid that had the 70's bosses house same place i had them get ahold of him bout the 70 i also asked if knew where there were anyothe cubs he told me to go out back (the 123) i offer 50 for it he came back with 75 i said sold lol so technically i bought 3 cubs for 250 not bad for one day. the 129 i sold to another friend for $75 i sold my old 126 for $50 i kept the plow wheel weights all 4 rims an tires, i can complain ive been doing good with dumping tractors fairly quick i knew the 123 was worth something once i get it running it will be up for sale.

Nice finds on your cubs!

60615 is too early for your 70. The 70 and 100 model SN's started at the mid 65,000 range. Your 70 is early though, as it has the big battery box.

they were the numbers on the side of the transmission. is there another place i should look on it for numbers?

Here ya go.

thanks ill head out to the shop and check again

the numbers on the 70 are; 69618
the numbers on the 123 are 209406

what years did i get? thanks guys

nice 70:beerchug:

thanks it runs great

Your 70 was built in November of 63.

thanks anything on the 123?

Your 123 was built in August of 67.

thank you where abouts do you look up the info to find out what year they are?

That looks like a IH 38" 3 spindle mower deck from a IH Cub Cadet 72. I have seen early model 70's with left over timed decks from the Originals. I'm almost certain your deck is from a 72.

I better go get a picture of the deck that is on my 71.:bigeyes:

Yea, I stand correct. The deck you have is from a 1968 model 72.

You should have a deck like this: note the cast iron sides

and what's more is where the 70, 100, and 71 fasten to the mower deck:

Also sure that your 70 could have a deck like the above pictures. hope this helps.

nice, and nice 123:beerchug:

you did well on both tractors.
Congrats!!!

thanks for the info on the deck once the 123 is running id like to get $400 out of it
