Default Cub Cadet 129 w/ Hydro Lift
I have been wanting to install a ported pump and hydro lift on my 1250.....then I found this parts 129 (at least I think it is a 129, he said it has a K301) for $75.00.

I know I can do this, but is there a reason I shouldn't just put the whole rear and hydro pump out of this in my 1250, or should I switch the pump only?

personally I would just change the pump...It would give you good reason to give everything inside a good look, and also change out the hy-trans and gaskets right away...

Yes, I will defiantly change the gaskets if I do change the pump.....but I really don't want to. :biggrin2.gif:

I finally got the 129 home, and I am pretty sure I want to keep the lift on and use it.

So I tried it to see if it would at least fire with starting fluid (because the gas tank is off), I had to use jumper cables because some of the wiring under the dash is broke. It did have spark, but It won't even try to fire, anyone have ideas?

You gotta start checking stuff...that could be dozens of things. I would fix the wiring, get a gas tank on it, rebuild the carb, make sure it has compression, and THEN try to start it.

Yes, but I am just trying to hear it fire, not run. And it does have compression.

Even tho my 1250 was showing some spark, it took a new coil to actually get it to fire and run. I took the one from my 128 that I knew was working and put it on the 1250 and it fired right up. You might take a coil from a running tractor and try it.

At first it wasn't making spark so I put a different coil on.....that got it to make spark but I still won't fire.

I would still rebuild the carb and get a temporary gas tank on it so you can definitely rule out a fuel problem. The idea is not to see if you can get it to fire/run with as many problems as possible, it's to fix the known problems so you can fix the unknown problems...

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.
