I'm one sick puppy ? So the wife says?
 

There I was going to buy some sweet corn for my Sat. eve bash.

I slam on the brakes & see this ole fart (like me) taping a for sale sign on a cub cadet # 122. Do I see what I see? $ 200.00

Turn around & start with questions.

Does it run?
answer; Do you think I pushed this thing? I pinch myself

Whats wrong with it?
answer; Nothing, got a new one don't need this one anymore.

I pinch myself again & i'm, not dreaming.

Can I take it for a ride?
answer; Go ahead.

After 5 min., it died on me 3 times, but started right up.???????????

Then I break the key off trying to start it for the 4th., time. :RedFace2:

Now ya did it he says. Now you bought it.

After spending 2 hours with Pete we strike a deal of a lifetime while sitting by his new Deere.
Pete is gonna deliver it to my house this Tuesday with his flat bed 7 miles away from my house.
Then I gotta pay him a whole :bigeyes: $ 150.00 :bigeyes:

1 catch to this story. Pete likes to fish. I gotta take him out on Lake Michigan on my boat. Since I go out at least 2X a week, seems like I have another fishin' buddy.

History;
Pete bought it new,
put on a new coil last June,
12 h.p Kohler & does NOT smoke.
tranny changed about 3 or 4 years ago?,
tires in super shape,
tune up 2 years ago,
deck is in SUPER SHAPE,
never been in the rain,
Pete blows his deck & Cub after each cutting,

Bad;
Hood is faded, maybe it'll need some fresh paint when I do my # 109 this Fall.


Will post pics when this bad boy comes home & sits next to my # 109 that is all ripped apart.


Nik,

Oh almost forgot? His wife says that she'll make lunch for us out on the boat as I was drinking coffee & eating fresh Peach pie from Michigan peach's, & 2 hours of my life.

Right place right time :ThumbsUp: Congratulations on the new 122

In my limited experience with these older Cub Cadets is that the keys are prone to break in the ignition. I broken a couple of keys in these, one in a 123 and one in a 104. Easy to get the broken end out, though.

BTW, congratulations on finding it.

Congrats on your 122, nikster! I really enjoyed your story. :beerchug:

Great story. Congrats on your new tractor.

Awesome story! You've got some great timing and a good eye! At least you'll be getting some food out of this. hehe Congrats on your 122! Looking forward to the pics.

Win,Win,Win! (New Cub,Fish,Food)! :WWP:
Great Deal !!!!
