The Cub runs! (and some historical questions....)
My father came out to visit, and we got the darn 122 up and running.
Swapped the ignition, sanded the points, bought a battery, cleaned the tank and bowl, put in a new fuel line and BOOM! She goes. (insert maniacal laugh) Awesome compression, good spark, a little loud (that's for safety  ...) Needs a few bells and whistles, and I'm there! Now I need to start collecting attachments and annoying off my wife that I'm taking up the garage with "parts"... So, I have some questions about the history of these things. Some light surfing tells me when they were produced, yada-yada-yada. But how many were produced? Do the serial numbers reflect the sales (roughly 600,000 IH cubs) or is it something else? I'm curious about these beasts and inquiring minds want to know.

You should consider a book I just got. "50 years of Cub Cadet" by Oscar Will III. It is a great read and a very handy reference book. For instance Your 122 is known as a series 3 cadet and was made from 65 to 67 and nearly 31,000 units were made. The book also list standard and optional equipment and more. The book does the same for all the cub cadets.

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.
