Default Cub Cadet 122 gone over and added some extras

ok well i got my 122 mechanically sound! i went over it front to back up and down lol. i started with the engine, it had a blown head gasket but still ran ok, i replaced the head gasket and cleaned the cylinder head and everything looked good inside. changed the oil, rebuilt the carb, set the points, and put on a new air filter and spark plug. runs pretty decent now, except im still messing with it to get it to idle decent. then i put on the stack, i can swap from a muffler to a straight pipe easily for pulling but it is rather loud. next was the clutch, and boy was that alot of work. got a new driveshaft, throwout bearing, and teaser spring turned the pressure plates and a new friction disc. the clutch already had a red spring on it. then i had to redo the mount it just bowed out when you pushed the clutch down.



after that i added a creeper box, and flushed the rear with new fluid. then went over the wiring thourghly and put in a new ignition switch, and added front head lights and the voltage regulator that was missing.

i also got new 23x1050-12 deestones from work for the rear and filled them with antifreeze. that added approximatly 50 lbs per tire. so far she is running really well but i bent the plow bracket today dozing the rear yard, i guess ill have to beef that up next.

the next few things i want to get is wheel weights, tire chains, a mower deck, and im hoping to make my own three point cause i cant see spending a $125 or more for the 4 pieces for the original stuff...... but we shall see. this week i will be ordering the deestone tri ribs for the front and the bottom heavy duty hitch bracket from xtreme motor works. i really dont plan on redoing this tractor, but she doesnt really look that great estetically. but oh well it is a working tractor right?

greasemonkey,
Nice looking 122. It looks great to me! You have done a lot of work to get it back in good working order. I like them in their work clothes. Those Deestones look good too. I have the Deestone tri ribs on the front . Make sure you get tubes too. They will look good on the front of your 122.
Regards,
Chris

GM,
I thought that would work also. I tried tubeless too. I have several other fronts that are tubeless. So I thought these would seal and hold air too. Well I was warned and they would not hold air. I had the rims in good shape. So I went and got tubes.
Let me know.
Regards,
Chris

Sweet 122! The rear parts can be costly but worth the money in my book. Keep shopping around or place a want ad in the wanted section of the site and you might find it for a better price. Plus this type of year sales have dropped off on cub stuff.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
