Some pics of the 129 all back together
Finally finished the last thing on the list (besides the new list with the hitch, finish the hydro foot control pedal...). I got the my hydro release thing finished, works good - first cub of mine that has one, so hard to compare to stock. I used old feeler gauges for the fingers. Gassed it up and fired up the tractor, got the creep set and buttoned it up with the tranny cover. I solved my dilema of painting over the kids foot prints worn into the tranny cover decal. I put my kids initials on it (this is his). I replaced the butchered steering wheel decal with a peice of brushed aluminum. OK I am too cheap too buy decals - I admit it. Maybe if I paint the rest of it. Felt good tearing up the driveway!

Very nice!!!!
Can you expand on how you did the foot control? I've got a couple of Wheelhorse tractors that are hydro and a smart guy figured out a kit to convert those to foot control. I bought two of those kits and installed them. It's amazing how this mod brings an old iron tractor in to the present century and I have to believe your foot control kit might do the same. Thanks! Bill

I put 2 threads about the foot control on the customized CC section. this winter I put it on 2 - 129's and a 1250. I have only played with them, but it seems great, first time I have had a cub drifting in the snowy driveway

The mods and the tractor look great! Can you post a little more info about how you built the hydro release? Maybe some specs? I think it's a great idea and looks pretty sturdy. Thanks. Mark

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.
