Favorite Cub everyone

Here is a couple pics of my favorite cub and my new to me 71 with a 10hp in her.Decals on the side of the hood are taped off. Going to try and put a quick rattle can job on the hood without ruining the decals. Made a couple laps around the yard with it, have a few bugs to work out. Carb needs to be cleaned and a kit put in it and a set of points and I think she will run like a swiss watch. Pay no attention to the off brand wheel weights on the 124. Had fun pulling a 12in plow at Danville plow day this year. Ended up trading the 12in plow for a 10in. A little less effort to lift without hydraulics. Lets see your favorite tractor.

Sweet 100 ACecil That is going to be my next cub either a 70 or a 100. Don't see too many of them for sale in Central N.Y. Saw one at a auction but went out of my price range in a hurry. The wiring throttle and choke cables were a cobbled up mess and still sold for over $400.

Nice to meet you! Here is my favorite cub as of the moment, a 71. I also have a nice 72 work in progress, and a beat-up 123 that will one day be a tiller tractor.:American Flag 1:

I love those meats on the back of your 100!

What size and brand are they?


Diz Jr.

Your 149 is truly a tractor for all seasons, it looks like you use it just as it's designers intended it to be used. If I could someday own a 149 as nice as yours... I could die a happy man!

T-Mo 07-12-2010 08:25 AM

If I had to pick one, I say a Farmall Cub. But of the ones I own, my 123:

Then probably my 122:

Great looking cubs!

My favorite has to be my 682. You can't beat how smooth, quiet and that kohler twin power :biggrin2.gif:

For me it's my 1282. Simply because it's been in my family since new. Then my "O" and that's because I restored it.

ACecil 07-12-2010 01:21 PM

Great looking cubs, guys! I'm really enjoying all the pics! :ThumbsUp:

idk why someone never thought of this thread before. as of now my favorite tractor is my 1650 but it will probably switch to my 169. heres some pics of the 1650 with the rake on it

cubs-n-bxrs 07-12-2010 02:24 PM

Really nice pics guys. I think my 124 is the all time favorite just because I started with a pile of misc. parts and come up with a nice little machine. I guess they are all my favorites for one reason or another. The 1641 is my snowblowing machine, the 125 is the lawn mowing machine, the 124 is my plow day machine and the 71,102 and 122 haven't been giving any real jobs to do other than hauling the grandson and I on our journeys in the woods.

tubbyfirefighter 07-12-2010 10:03 PM

I would post a pic of my 1450, but, its in about 152&1/2 pieces, so it wont be posted until its back togather sometime in 2057 i hope.:biggrin2.gif:

Mike in NC 07-13-2010 01:09 AM

Any IH built Cub Cadet. I also love the 782D as I used one on the dairy farm I worked on.

Very nice Cubs guys!!

I'd have to say my 982 - only because that's all I own....SO FAR!! :biggrin2.gif:
It was this web site that got me hooked on these tractors, this past time, this obsession! If only the wife knew what surfing the web would come to.... :biggrin2.gif:

cubs-n-bxrs 08-24-2010 01:23 PM

Mountain Heritage that is a SWEET looking 982 ya have there. Heck everybody has nice looking machines. A red one will be the next in my stable of cubs. Just need to find one in my price range. Prolly gonna have to up the anti a little bit. $150 is the most I have ever paid for a cub. Come on guys we have had almost 500 views on this thread and a page and a half of pics.:beerchug:

ACecil 08-24-2010 01:28 PM

Sweet 982, MH! The drag looks cool, behind your 982. :beerchug:

My Favorite 127
 
this is my favorite Cub... Well its my only Cub so it has to be my Fav !!! Its a 1969 127 that I bought from the Original Owners Son. I have the books, and a bunch of service records. It did not run due to the fact that the wires were mostly snapped from dry rotting. I bought the Tractor, 48" Deck and #2 Steel Trailor. It has a spring assist, right angle gear box, and orig 23 x 10.5 tires on the back. My buddy got it started that day i got it and I should have it back Friday with new harness all ready to go. Enjoy the pics.

where i found her, it was sitting for 4 years

I for sure have yellow fever. When driving the roads, I'm looking. When on the computer, I'm looking.... Prior to my 1200, I passed on a 109 that came with a tiller, dozer blade, deck, disc and cultivator. Now all the attachments weren't great but he wanted $700 and I would only go $650....My loss. But I got my 1200 for $50...

ACecil 08-25-2010 01:28 PM

That's a sharp 1200, Lee! :beerchug:

I have my 1962 cub o it was not restored buy me but is easy to work on and is getting expensive (has most of the original parts from 1962 on it). My favorite cub is my 1966 cub 122 it is wore out needs a new clutch,and rings for the engin,and a brake rebuild but I love it anyway.

ACecil 08-25-2010 06:33 PM

Nice cubs, you have there! :ThumbsUp:

ljones 08-25-2010 06:42 PM

Thanks ACecil !

Flatbedford 08-26-2010 03:53 PM

Only have one. So, no problem picking a favorite. I bought my 125 in April on my wife's birthday. Came with deck, blade, snow thrower, and a sweeper. My favorite attachment is the blade.

Nice 125, Steve! We have some great looking cubs here at OCC! :IH Trusted Hand:

That's funny Jeff. No that's a caution light. That's my son's contribution to the whole cub project. He wants to use the caution light while plowing this winter.:biggrin2.gif:

Here's my 2 favorites, the O' being #1 and the 71 coming a close second:buttrock:

toyman 08-26-2010 09:07 PM

Favorite is the one that drew me in and also has sentimental value as it was given to me by a friend that passed away, my 1862.

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...tractor006.jpg

A close second is my 982 and tiller

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...ors/004-12.jpg

Here they are together

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...ors/005-14.jpg

I also really like the 70/100 series.
This was the first one, sold it right after I finished it.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q.../usopen002.jpg

The second I picked up shortly after finishing the first. It's a work in progress.

Cub Cadet 123 08-26-2010 11:23 PM

There are lots of fine looking cubs here!!! Toyman, I hear you on the sentimental value to the cubs....I got my dad's 123 and those are the ones that really imprint on you. Seems like each model has its own unique attributes that catch our eye. And speaking of that.......Diz Jr.'s background scenery behind his 149 in its plow clothes caught my eye!!! If my backyard had that view, I'd be on my cub 24/7!!

Cub Cadet 123

Awesome looking cubs, guys! :beerchug:
