Cub 122 Restoration
 

Hi all, thought you like to see where I am at with the 122 i'm restoring, so far I have striped all the metal down to bare bones and had it repainted. I still have not got the K301 back together but I received the new piston, rings & gasket set last week, now I just need to find the time to put it all back together. I also picked up a tiller ( with both extensions! ) and have just got to apply the new deacals. Hopefully buy spring I should be able to get back to gardening with it. ( if I don't then all the reasons I told the wife why I bought this new toy are not going to sit to very well )

Here are a couple of pictures to date!!

Nice job, your 122 and tiller look great! :ThumbsUp:

awesome
 

great looking tractor and garage !!!!

You mean your gonna get it dirty?

Nik,

There's something wrong with your garage...I can see the floor...:ROTF1:

Nice work Blfuller :ThumbsUp:

:beer2: Thanks All,

And Matt,
The only reason you can see the floor is because I had to make room for the cub!!!!!!

Good lookin tractor you have there....wish i could see the floor in my garage.:biggrin2.gif:

Your 122 looks awesome! I can't wait to see how the engine turns out! Thanks for sharing your pics!

Very nice tractor! And that tiller is sweet!

I was really lucy with the tiller, the guy wanted $250.00 for it but I ended up trading a walk behind tiller for it!! I completly tore it down to bare metal and repainted each piece, I also opened up the gear box, cleaned it out and repacked it with new grease, what a messy job that was.

Can't wait to drop it in the ground the first time!!!!!

Blfuller,
That is a very nice restoration that you have done on the 122. I am learning here , so that looks just like the 102 that I have square fenders and such. OK 102 = 10 Hp and 122 = 12 hp. Starting to get it.:)
Anyway I have the major portion of a tiller too. I was going to haul it away for scrap. In fact it came from a clean up junk day and my neighbor saved it, a snow blade, and a mold board plow (SP). They all have been setting outside for several years. The tiller turns over but needs a complete restoration I think. What I was wondering is what would I need to attach it to the tractor and how are they powered? Belt all the wayfrom the front? If you have time to take some shots of the attachment that would be great. You could P.M. them to me if you want.

Regards,
Chris

Hi all,
I almost have the engine back together, the son and I completly tore it down, installed a new piston, rings and seal kit, we also applied the international decal on the tiller. I'm just waiting on parts for the PTO and I can reinstall the engine.

Blfuller, Very nice work on your 122. When I got mine someone had replaced the short block also because it had the dipstick on the cam cover too. 122's originally came with the dipstick on top of the block. I found the correct block and replaced it before my restore. Love them 122's!!

Nice pics, guys! Your tractors look great. :beerchug:

Very nice 122.I see you even have the correct heat shield.

I wish my 122 looked that good! Thanks for sharing!

That weird bend on the exaust heat shield is factory? Is it only on that series? Here I thought the po of my 122 just got mad at the dang thing lol

Nick,
yes that is factory.

Finally got to take it for a ride :biggrin2.gif:

It's been a long haul ( I think I started in June ) but my son and I finally got the 122 back together and took it for it's maiden ride........She runs a little rough but I still need to time it and adjust the carb, I also need to adjust the govenor, does anyone know what position on the shaft the bracket should be tightened on too on a K301? Here are a couple of pics of the proud father and son.

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing! :ThumbsUp:

Nice looking cub, great pictures!!

Very nice 122, you guys did a great job! If I didn't have the 682 re-build on the plate I would be looking for a 122/3 for my next project..

Nice job, looks great! :ThumbsUp:


what you working on Jay? You do something to your 682...you going to make it all perrrrdy like Blfuller did to his tractor?

:biggrin2.gif:

Full bells and whistles re-do for RPRU '11 :ThumbsUp:

Nice pictures Steve....what name brand of tires on the rear of that sweet thing? Nice tread pattern on them. :ThumbsUp:

Firestone 23 degree

:bash2: :bash2: :Rant:

Why did Firestone stop producing these! I need to find a pair of new ones for my 982. They are one heck of a nice look'n tire! Great choice Steve. Great tractor

Great job on the restore! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Your 982 should have 26/12.0-12's. You can still get these in that size.

Miller Tire is having some Firestone 23 degree special made in 23/10.50-12.
I'm on the wait list for a set.

Thanks to all for the compliments on the restoration,

Steve,
Yours looks awesome and thanks for the link to the govenor adjustment procedures!!!!

Well your welcome! Very nice job! Super!! I got to get my tiller looking that good!
