Default My new 123 - WOO HOO!

I found this today, called on the ad with no picture and no brand name. The landlord said the tenant was missing and he wanted this tractor gone! I got it for a song. It came with a rototiller, disc and a mower deck.

Its heavy, anybody know what it weighs?

Its missing its air cleaner, and 1 sheet metal side panel on the rotor tiller and thats it I believe.

It has a right angle gearbox with 2 pulleys, mounted between the rear end and the trailer ball. What exactly is this for?

Its now my favorite tractor (I have 5 now, LOL, don't tell my wife.)

SCORE! You gotta love the ads where the people just don't know or even care so they list them as "mowers." Congrats on such a great find.

This will be my first hydrostatic drive.
Does that mean I have a hydraulic source for a lift?

If I understand Cubs correctly and your machine hasn't been altered, then no. 149's were the first models to have hydraulic lift as a standard feature. Earlier models may have had this as an option, but I have no info on that. The hydro pump for a hydraulic lift Cub has extra ports for this purpose.

The gearbox on the back is for the tiller.

Nice find on the 123!! Sweet score. You can't use the hydro for a hydraulic lift because the hydro wouldn't be ported. The 123 could have a hydraulic lift added. They bolt on the right side of the tractor and run off the back of the motor. I suppose one could add a ported hydro to the 123, but it would take alot of modifying to get everything to work. I agree with Lew, got any pics of the tiller and disc????

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.
