[Cub Cadet 123]

Just brought home a 107 today and haven't even inspected it other than to make sure that the engine has great compression and isn't seized up. So, here are some quick questions (Thanks in advance for your time in answering them!!):

1) Is the 107 like a 127 and 147, except with a 10 hp engine?

2) Is the rearend ported for hydraulics or what do I need to hydraulically lift blades, blowers, decks, etc.

3) It is missing the air cleaner bracket and cover, will a 12 hp cover fit a 10hp Kohler without a sloppy fit?

4) Is the 10hp kohler strong enough to run a 42" snowblower or should I stick with my 36" snowblower?

With much appreciation,
