Score!!! and questions
 

:) guess what guys!!! :) :) I have added another tractor to my growing fleet... I now have 5 :) :) the new addition is the very first NF I have ever seen in my life. I've actually never seen it. I bought it site unseen for $400. Owner says good rubber and ran good a couple years ago... Comes with tiller and a 38 deck. The best part... It's a 123 :) he said some people were interested, but I pushed and he asked $400. I said sold without thinking. I plan to go see it sometime in the next week or so. Now for the questions... Are their any problems with this tractor that I may find? How good of a tractor is it? Will i be able to get used to it easily even Though all I've had Is WF'S? Are they easy to work on? What do you think the value of it would be if it ran and drove well? Thanks :)

Even though My NF is a gear drive vs. your hydro. I love mine. I wouldn't give it up for much of anything. I have had to do some drive line repairs and that wasn't any fun. Very tight quarters. Other than that, She is a true work horse.

Congrats Tyler! Always nice to add one to the herd...

Tyler you know the deal! :WWP:

Congrats on your 123, Tyler. They were the first hydrostatic Cub Cadets IH made. The narrow frame will be a little harder to work on, because it has no removable tunnel cover like the wide frames. If you have to work on the tranny, you'll have to split the tractor. That's what I liked about the 1250, I used to own. All I had to do, to get to the check valves was take the tunnel cover off. :ThumbsUp:

As it has been mentioned, the narrow frames are harder to work on. And, once thing I've learned this weekend, with the narrow frame hydrostatic drives, there's even less room to work when you're putting on a 3 point hitch and Brinley style helper spring. The brake rod runs close to the right side frame rail where you need to get to when bolting on the 3 point lift arm bracket. That top bolt was a pain.

congrats ! the 123 will work good for you! I have 2, a couple weeks ago, I tilled up a garden, the ground had not been previously touched, so getting thru the first layer of sod would be tough , I thought ! well I was wrong, the tiller with the hdro worked awesome, it ate rite through the sod and did a great job on the garden, my wife was surprised at how good of a job it did , she is not ur ordinary chic, as her dad has 1000 acres he farms and approx 500 head of dairy cows ! so she is use to tractors and equipment ,she has run a tractor pulling an 8 bottom plow, amongst other things, Im rambling sorry, my point she has seen ground being worked, and she was impressed at the job our lil IH cubs and a tiller among other implement is capable of doing! I dont no how easy it is to get at things on Wf, as I have 4 NF iit hets tight at times, but it isnt impossible ! Patience and the correct tools, and maybe a manual, the aren't bad at all ,good find, Enjoy !!
