Default How to determine a 128?

I have what I believe is a 1972 128 CC. I did know for sure until I decided to repaint it and guess what? I forgot what model it is. The only part of the serial number that is legible is the last 6 digits which are 446915, and the engine serial number is 4039599, model K-301A which says it is a 1972 year model, 12 HP.
That being said, I decided to finish the restoration and order new decals and hood bumpers, latches and such. I would like to put the right decals on it.
So what is the difference between a 108 and a 128 besides a 108 being a 10 HP, is the rest of it the same?
( I had a manual bookmarked @ ihregistry.com but that is of no use since they crashed.)
According to the all info I have found, with a manual transmission there is only three models it can be in 1972. 86, 108, 128, and the info said that in 1972 they came with 8, 10, 12, hp engines respectively. Am I correct in assuming then that this is a 128?


Thanks in advance for all your help!
Larry

You are correct in guessing you have a 128. the first 2 digits in the model number are the horsepower (12) and the last number is the series (8 for manual, 9 for hydrostatic). great tractor you've got!

The tractors are the same, besides the engines. The 108 had a green stripe on the decal, while the 128 had a red stripe.

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.
