About my "new" 125,.......
Just wanted to keep a little information log about my new purchase. I don't want to continue a long, detailed thread, rather just something to share and look back on. I have made a decision based on the condition of the 125 garden tractor, to keep the unit as close to original as I can. Granted, there have been replacement parts necessary, and what bits and pieces I thought could use a little paint protection. So, no full blown restoration, or refurbish, ( however you chose to label ) is required of my model 125.
I chose OCC, as a place to share this, as the format suits me better for what it is I'd like to include. I'm always looking for good information about this model, and will welcome opinions, and suggestions. This being the forward, I'd like to give a brief, introductory story on how this model came about to me! p.s : This thread will not drop off and disappear, as some of mine have in the past. John

Thank you guys, for the nice comments!
We been out together ( wife and I ) over the holiday weekend, so I did not get a chance sooner to follow up. I'm very glad to know there are some great 125 enthusiasts here, because this model is fairly new to me. My only other experience coming close would have been a model 123, that was a scrap yard fine. Looking forward to sharing, and yes Allen,..... pictures!

Well, I got the 125 about two months ago. A friend of mine stopped in, and said he knows of an IHCC that his friend has, and wants to sell. Not sure what I would expect, I left with him. Turns out to be a model 125, equipped with a 48" IH mower deck. The owner thought that the engine was blown up, and a turn of the key reveled a quiet, spinning engine with out compression.
So we heckled on a price, as I kicked the tires lightly. My thoughts were that I was not going to walk away on this garden tractor. The tractor condition was in very nice condition, as I realized that, the yellow fever struck a big come-on. The white seat was perfect. Well, after some chin scratching, and some cowboy squinting, I hollered out "between 2-3 hundred". my friend, an old timer, quickly raised an eye brow. I knew he thought that offer was too much, and before I could wipe the single bead of sweat from my forehead, the owner declared, in a thundering voice, " Three hundred", as if a judge just decided verdict with the slam of the gavel. "sounds good" I said. I left a 50$ deposit, and showed up the next day with the remaining balance owed. The hard part was yet to come, to tell her how it ended up in our garage.

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.
