129 Gets Some Love (Refurb)
Found some drops of hydro on the floor under the 129, so I ordered a new cork gasket. An easy split, some cleaning and a bit of Permatex later the job was done.
 Original  Original As I got down to re-attaching the pump, the close look at the dirt and rust from eight years together made me feel a bit guilty, so I've decided to give the girl some love. More project pics to follow soon.

This tractor takes some serious abuse over the weekends. Hauling over hills and through creeks regularly. I guess I've ignored the frame a bit long (8 years). Not looking to restore it to new, but looks like a wire wheel and some primer/paint is in order.

On a roll so I got into the steering tube. Filthy as expected so gave it a good cleaning. Added three bolts and nylocks to keep the tube from separating from the steering box. Somewhere I read about using rivets but I'd like to be able to take it apart if need be without drilling. Plus, rivets cannot be tightened if they work loose for some reason. Primed, painted, end of evening.

So, for the eight years I've had the 129, there has been no decal/insert on the steering wheel. When I bought it, the hole in the top of the cam was plugged with dirt and I saw no reason to fool with it since it added a bit of protection there (click images for large).
 Finding out that it led all the way through the shaft to a hole drilled leading into the steering box changed things. With no protection over it at the steering wheel, I could just see water and crap running down into the box and screwing up the works. So I tapped it and added a grease fitting... fill it with grease and protect everything below.  While I was cleaning up and feeling all proud of myself, I accidentally discovered that Wal Mart sells an after-market part that fits the stock 129 steering wheel perfectly! A nice snug fit and clears the nipple as well.  Cheers!

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.
