First Cub Cadet
 

Finally decided to pull the trigger on a tractor. A 127 that was waiting to be found. Found it local and it had everything I was looking for and the price was right. Came with a model 2 tiller and all the hook ups and belts, A snow blower, wheel weights, chains, and new tires. Minor surface rust, it rolls over but wouldn't start. Maybe from the cold temp and sitting for a while but that can be looked at later. Guy said the engine was a crate motor, identical swap with only 36 hours on it when he acquired it last year. Needs a starter/generator rebuilt but my buddy does that for a living so no issues there. How much of the story he told me is true only god knows, but I pulled the trigger for only $500.

Some photos from tonight. Dark and starting to snow, but it gives you an idea.

It would also seem I am missing a tensioner of some sort on my blower and The shield to cover the gears on it. Hope they are easy to find.

Is that the one from Swain?

Yes sir it is! I chose it mainly because I found the snow blower someone was giving away :biggrin2: So may as well say it came as part of the deal :beerchug:

You live close to Swain?

Nice pickup!:beerchug: I'm roughly an hour from Swain.

I live in Dansville about 30 min away, short drive. He has other attachments there but I only needed the tiller and tractor. Still had a 122 and deck also. More of a parts tractor.

I am hoping I can put in a stronger battery, change the oil, clean the tank out, maybe change the plug and it fires up. That snow blower will be nice with all the snow we are going to get. And the seat was in prime condition, not sure if its original but it had no cracks or rips.

I don't see anything missing.


Looks like you got a good deal.
