Default Unknown condition 123 need help
Right now I have a 123. The motor is shot and I can push it around very easily. How do I know if the rear end is good or the hydro? My other 123 is hard to move around.

You won't unless it's running.

I'm thinking about putting in a yammer diesel. 7hp motor in it.

I'm sure others will disagree but I wouldn't do that to a 123. I think of them as kind of a classic, they are the first hydro, the last all steel made model.
I would look for a 1x9.
But that's just my opinion and it's your tractor and money.

The thing is beyond shot. I could not even sell it for $140 with factory headligts. Trust me it's no loss.

No, but for lots of reasons I'm not going to get into.

Why don't you just part it out? I'd rather see you sell off what's good than do a repower with a less than suitable motor leaving nothing usable.

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.
