Default Cub 125
This followed me home the other day. I noted it had some chrome pieces on the top of the fenders, the length of the hood, and on the front grill. Is this something someone just added or was this an option at one time? It also has a Carter Model N carb, which was something new to me.

Haven't gotten it running yet, so I'm not sure if it is a deal or a dud.

All of that extra chrome stuff is something someone added at some time that thought it would make it look good. IMO it doesn't add to the value of it and doesn't help the look of it either.

Good grab on the 125. They are one of my favorites and real workhorses.

Isn't that the highly sought after chrome package IH offered for that series?

I see this all the time working in the body shop, people buy a roll of chrome trim or pinstripe and they think they have to use the whole roll. We have a customer that has pinstripe around everything on his truck and I told him one day that just because it came in a 100ft roll doesn't mean he need to use the whole 100ft.

I don't think this is a stock item either.

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.
