Restore or Not?
I just got this 1966 122 and from what I see it is in amazing original condition. Left front wheel spindle, seat and maybe the fuel tank are replacements but all the rest is as built. Would you leave it alone and let it's condition after 47 years show or restore it?
          The mower deck is not the original but it came with the original deck and looks to be in better shape than the one on it. It runs sweet and idles wonderfully. I wish my others were as nice.

It mows great. I checked the paint over pretty good and it seems to be original. If it was repainted they had to have taken it all apart to do it. It was in a garage building that went with a piece of property that the new owner is going to build a house on it. It was used by the PO along with a tractor and bush hog to keep the grass mowed. Everything in the garage went with the sale.

You can tell it was repainted by the dash tower,fender, and the reflector hardware.They were put on after it was painted and would not have any paint on them.

After going out and checking all the vitals (1/2 qt low in transmission, oil full and looks real clean) I looked at it real close and have to agree that the paint looks too new. But I tell you that they must have removed all the old paint before putting this layer on, it's that good. If the PO went to all that trouble why would he obviously have been using it for chores around his place and let it go with the property? Maybe a dealer freshened it up?
The PO had it serviced regular. How do I know? The dates was on the frame written in Magic Marker. Last service was 11/12/11. I guess it hasn't been used much since as the oil is so clean. The deal was I found this on CL six miles from me. Went and checked it out, liked it, came home and made a deal for a 10 year craftsman riding mower that I didn't want with my neighbor. Went and used the money to by my baby. Had $100 left over.  Is the 124 just a replacement for the 122?

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.
