Default I tried my best NOT to go look!

I found out about this 123 last week... I wasn't gonna go look but I messed up and did! It was 5 miles from the house... I think I have a problem with bringing home Cub Cadets!!

I wound up bringing home this old 123 and a BUNCH of other random stuff.. The guy wanted to sell EVERYTHING all as a bundle...

Here is a quick rundown of what came home today....

123 with weights and three point and some not so nice "custom" mods (runs well... hydro is quiet and responsive... sheet metal is better than it looks)... a complete parts 70 with a 12hp sitting in it... Transaxle for an original... Midwest Cub pulling clutch.. A Brinly bottom plow, scrape blade, harrow, ... A nice IH front blade, part of a IH landscape rake, new carburetor for a 12hp... John Deere 110 fenders and a pickup truck load of misc Cub Cadet parts!

I'll get more pics as I unload! Dates are wrong on pics... didn't realize my camera said it was 2004!

I just couldn't walk away.... but now what to do with all this stuff??!

Thanks guys! It's one of the few models I have never owned.. And come to think of it it may be the first 123 I've seen in person... they aren't common around here.. but you can find a 125 anywhere.. I think maybe everybody in this neck of the woods was scared of the new fangled fluid drive thing called a hydrostat!

The guy referred to it as "BLACK DAWG"... it think it fits!

The 123 is a solid and very fun tractor to own! You did well to score it with all of those goodies. I kind of like the aluminum painted wheel weights....different, in a cool way, look. Have lots of fun on your score!

Thanks.... I was thinking the same thing about the weights and wheels... looks kinda cool in a different kinda way!! I wish they hadn't spray canned the whole tractor and hacked the muffler and hood but oh well!! It runs well and has some goodies so I'm happy!!

I like the simplicity of the early models... very little plastic and most everything can be repaired or rebuilt many times! Seems the 123 is one of the last models before they started playing with fiberglass and plastic!

Nice find on the murdered out 123 and extras Jay. Lots of cool extra parts and attachments. Also seeing a trend lately. You, Lew, and myself all scored tractors recently with speed knobs. I gotta say they make a world of difference steering these things. Congrats on that one.

Thanks Mike!!

Dad has been using the speed knobs on his cadets since his first 100 in the late 60's!

I have found they work even better with the CCC 3 turn steering box.

The steering is in such bad shape on this 123 that the knob isn't much use! You have to strong arm it!!

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.
