It looks like an earlier model of the 123 in the production run because of the angled heat shield and the location of the oil dipstick as in the later production run, I think the heat shields were straight out and the oil dipstick was located on the driver's LHS of the tractor and could be accessed without lifting the hood. The seat is not in too bad of shape for its age. If it runs, the price is good, but $150 might be a fair price, too. Not only was it the first tractor with the hydrostatic transmission as stated by Roland, but it was also the last series of "all metal" tractor that IH made (besides the 73, which was the last econoline). The seat was obvious fiberglass, but it is easily replaced, but the cowl became fiberglass afterward, which would often crack or break where the hood makes contact.

In my area, the pin on decks are becoming harder to find in decent shape. Having the mule drive and subframe is a nice plus. It is kind of a plane jane tractor, with no other extras. The Donald Duck is a definite plus. He can take you on the most astounding journey through Mathemagicland and help you improve your three cushion billiard game!!!

I was curious about the switch above the steering wheel. Almost looks like a key switch put there, and appears to be like a button next to it. I agree that the seat is in pretty good shape. The ad says its a '67, though the seller clearly isn't a cub expert. I get the feeling it's from before '67 though. Realistically, my plans for the tractor aren't so much for it to be rebuilt, but rather a project idea I had. Would need to find another tractor for that first.

I do get the feeling that with a fresh battery, carb cleaning, and filing of the points, it would probably fire up. There most likely isn't anything majorly wrong with it, it just sat a while.

I should mention I do have the hood, fenders, fender reflectors, and heat shield off a 105 just laying around. Also the cast front end, grille, and even a 12hp engine. And an entire frame from a different 105. So I'm pretty decently set up with parts currently.
