Default New 1200 in the shop

For those that have been following and connecting the dots, the 1200 has finally arrived in my shop! Now, to be honest, it's not mine. A friend has bought it in anticipation of the snow-ma-gedon we have coming tonight into tomorrow. Anyway, we picked it up today.

We got it, eventually loaded it, and drove home. I'm going to paraphrase here, but the list of work completed between a good buddy of mine and me is:
  • New fuel line
  • Attach Carb Air Cleaner
  • New air filter
  • New fuel filter
  • New ignition switch
  • New solenoid
  • New Spark Plug
  • Install 2 motor mount bolts
  • Change Oil
  • Drain/replace fuel

And more I'm sure I forgot. This was a last minute project so pictures are minimal. Enjoy what I've got, I'm sure I'll have more tomorrow of my buddy playing in the snow we have

Congratulations on the 1200!! Looks like it will do well in the snow. May want to chain up the tires if you are using the blade. I just put some chains, blade, and new front tri ribs and made a big difference in handling.

Glad your buddy recognizes a quality machine when he sees it and will get lots of utility out of his 1200.

Boy you guys don't miss a thing!! We did get some chains on it to use as well as a fresh engine oil change. As far as the ISO's go, I was pleasantly surprised by them. They actually aren't squashed pancakes like you usually see. They aren't perfect, but they certainly aren't on the top of the to do list, either.

Yeah, looks great, just like the 1200 I picked up out here last fall. Bought it to pull my log splitter around but as it came with chains, plow and mower deck (currently off) I decided to take it out in the snow we had yesterday. Looks like your list of action items is a good place to start on maintenance. I was wondering, my machine seems to vibrate excessively at higher rpm's. I was thinking motor mounts? You guys have any thoughts?

Nice!

You guys are efficient. I have a couple I would like to drop off for a day, and you can go through your list.



Enjoy the snow!!

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.
