Is it worth my time?
Hi folks. Frequent lurker, seldom poster. I was given a CC127 a couple of years ago from a friend. Was put away unloved by the friend 10 years earlier , and then dumped in my garage. With a little kindness and a carb clean and rebuild, she came to life. Has some trouble staying running, but still I was impressed. I had visions! I really did. Now I wondering if it is worth the investment of time and money. Has an electric lift and sleeve hitch ( the good) and the usuall missing grill, one headlight, needs seat, wiring must be replaced (the bad). What do you think? The misses bought a used JD LX277 for lawn mowing, but it is not tough like this guy. Would like to use it for ground work and such, plus I just like to tinker. Thanks Rick

IMHO....the 127 will work circles around that JD, blind folded and with only 3 tires.....

Thanks Guys. The feeling between the two tractors is night and day. The CC gives me the feeling of ALMOST being a farmer, being on the JD makes me feel like every other 9 to 5'er mowing their lawn. I am thinking of a complete fluid change and a new wire harness to start. Is that a good way to ease in? Not looking for a museum quality restoration, but do want to make her look pretty for the neighbors.

Welcome. It is amazing what a couple of cans of rattle can paint will do. Clean and paint the rims, some paint on the frame and hood and from a distance it will look like a new tractor.

Sell the POS deere and use the $$ for parts for the 127.

Even if you spend 1000 to 1500 on it you have a great tractor for half price of what a piece of junk costs new nowdays.. Just go at it one piece at a time and have fun!!

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.
