The Cub runs! (and some historical questions....)
 
My father came out to visit, and we got the darn 122 up and running.

Swapped the ignition, sanded the points, bought a battery, cleaned the tank and bowl, put in a new fuel line and BOOM! She goes. (insert maniacal laugh)

Awesome compression, good spark, a little loud (that's for safety ;) ...) Needs a few bells and whistles, and I'm there!

Now I need to start collecting attachments and annoying off my wife that I'm taking up the garage with "parts"...


So, I have some questions about the history of these things. Some light surfing tells me when they were produced, yada-yada-yada.

But how many were produced? Do the serial numbers reflect the sales (roughly 600,000 IH cubs) or is it something else? I'm curious about these beasts and inquiring minds want to know.

You should consider a book I just got. "50 years of Cub Cadet" by Oscar Will III. It is a great read and a very handy reference book. For instance Your 122 is known as a series 3 cadet and was made from 65 to 67 and nearly 31,000 units were made. The book also list standard and optional equipment and more. The book does the same for all the cub cadets.

I agree, that's a very good book. Lots of good info and interesting text and historical information.

Good work on the 122!

LOL, and the odd thing of it is, it's about one of the only places to order a book about Cubs.

I have already been on the dark side once, Once! Never again.:biggrin2:
