Working on my 129
Well my 129 has seen 35 years of neglect. The more I work on it the more rigging I see.
I just wish they had fixed what needed instead of just throwing something together.

Well I was trying to install the PTO in the front and had to remove the engaging rod from the front to install it, The bushing on the left side was stuck to the rod and both spiral lock pins were gone and replaced with cotter pins. And while I was underneath it I noticed the 16 penny nail used to hold the pin in the axle pivot.
Oh well it'll all be fixed when I am done.

The wiring was completely unhooked and cut in many places. They were starting it with a toggle switch and a push button. The VR was rusted very badly and hadn't worked in years.
I got the new wiring harness in and discovered a jumper wire on the starter solenoid. That should have told me it was bad as well. The Amp gauge was in pieces. I have replaced ALL the electrical stuff on this tractor. Next I will tackle the front axle and steering. The steering box is badly worn out, and the axle pivot has a LOT of play in it. A complete oil change and paint job is coming as well. And just think I have a 149 that is in even worse shape to start on next.

I got pretty lucky with my cub. I have found very little cobbling on it. The worst I've found is the left spindle was re welded a 1/4 turn in the wrong spot. New spindle fixed that. The key switch was hanging out of it and was locked up. That's the worst I've found. My next scheduled project is a clutch and creeper. That is if the creeper ever gets here. I ordered a creeper from a fellow OCC member in Canada and it got sent to the lost mail center in Atlanta Georgia. I may get it in 90 days they told me. If they can find it.

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.
