Almost there!
 

finally have my 125 back on all fours! I'm losing the battle against mother nature, but any day that has been warm enough I've been slapping paint onto the 125, and I finally have enough pieces finished that it's back on all fours.

(disclaimer: the photo quality of my phone has drastically decreased since getting a waterproof case for it. some pics are good, others very fuzzy.)

here's some shots of the squalor that is my shed, complete with heavy film of yellow haze.

My original muffler was still in good shape, so I gave it a coat of hi-temp silver to keep it looking good and lasting long!

also, for durability's sake, painted my foot pads with bedliner.

Also, got a new toy for it: a hydraulic lift!

It needs some new lines and a couple pieces are missing (spacers between bracket and the frame and the lockout clevis), but I'm looking forward to easy lifting of the plow or snowblower! thanks to member markmdz!

hoping to have the machine back together and running by thanksgiving weekend! :beer2:

I have never seen the wheel weights on the back side

Keep going! Its going to be a beautiful tractor. I love those 125's. I must do this to mine. I'm just a teen with no money, Hahaha :beerchug:

Looking good cadzag72 :ThumbsUp:

Nice work! Keep the pics and updates coming.

What Allen said!:beer2:

Looks great:beerchug:

I must applaud your effort and dedication! Your IH Cub Cadet 125 will certainly look great, and I like the way you mounted the IH wheel weights on the back side of the rear rims! That's the way I have mine installed too!

Keep up the good work!:American Flag 1:

Looking good. I also have the "Yellow Haze" in my shop :biggrin2:

Yellow Haze? Isn't that a Jimi Hendrix song?
