Well I have been teasing you guys about a 125 that was 3/4 mile away from my house. Its in the garage tonight
![]() ![]() It came down this week end The PO stopped up and said I could pay him Scrap cost for it or it was going to the crusher Monday. I couldn't take it being junked even though it is VERY rough! So I went and got my sons trailer, and this afternoon went and picked it up. The PO and his son helped me load it. They lifted it with a chain around the grill high enough I could back under it with the trailer. He said he could not pull it out of the barn because all the tires were flat. This tractor came with a deck which will be for parts only! like the spindles, blades and any hardware. the shell is toast! Also came with a QA42 snow thrower, in normal non maintained condition. The 12 Hp is supposed to have been rebuilt by the PO. I see lot of things that don't look right or need work on the engine. Most f the tins are missing. He may have them tucked away. Carb looks bad. spark plug is broken off.all the head bolts look wrong?? muffler is junk. So I got it home and while still on the trailer. Attached the drag link, Pulled the deck and mule drive off. I also pulled the left front tire and stole one from the 102. put air in the right front of the 125 and it held. Pulled the flat right rear and put on a matching rim and tire that I had from the 102. Pumped up the left rear and it held. Gave the tractor a tug and it moved quite easily, rolled right off the trailer like it had just found a new home! ![]() Cheryl told me not to put that piece of junk in the garage. I thought she said is was so nice it needed to be in the garage. (guess I need to get my ears checked?) I spun it around slapped the hood on it and rolled in to the garage. She was real pleased! I will get some pictures in the next day or so. Its not much to look at. grills gone, seat is junk, tires are mismatched. wiring is toast, fuel system need work. rust in all the right places. This one had not had a bath in years so the pressure washer came out to get some of the junk off it. The engine rolls over easily and the oil looks brand new. PO said he ran it about 10 seconds and it was rev'ed to high. Looks like the governor spring is way out of whack among many other things. Hoping the engine may have some life left. I am still working the PO on a #1 trailer that he has too. I want that too, what is a good price for a somewhat rusty #1 dump cart? Regards, Chris

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.
