Default Had a 122 delivered to me today!

After a little negotiation I had a 122 dropped off here a few hours ago. It was 75 miles away and I let the guy know that we had to have a hill to back up to so the incline of the ramp to the bed of my truck wouldn't be a to great of an angle. Anyway he said he would just deliver it. Sight unseen I said bring it on. After all the pictures looked good on the CL ad.

She arrived and it fired right off and the owner unloaded it. First thing I noticed was it had the 3 point lift set-up lift bar and all

I took it for a spin, looked at the deck and paid the man. So at the end of the day I bought a sweet 122 for $.58c per pound with the lift set-up and really nice functional deck and a 150 mile trip I didn't have to make

The good it runs, clutch feels good, lift bar, deck looks great and cuts, new battery and belts. The bad blades stay engaged, steering column has some slack and shifter is all over, but engages easy.

Another restoration like the "O"? I don't know, but I think I am going to this a little at a time so I can still drive and cut with it.

Sounds like you made out pretty good. Most of the tractors I find don't run. Slack in the steering is typical. And it was delivered! excellent.

That sounds like an excellent transaction and being delivered is the icing on the cake. Good deal all around, congrats!

Yes delivery is worth it's weight in gold. Like I told my wife 75 miles turns into 150 or 3 hours to start with, then a 1 hour shoot the bull session loading unloading etc., it is 6 hours in reality so time and money saved!

Anyway here are the pics:





Got some "Mow Rash" in the seat:









Head lights and some good cleaning up is in her near future. Now that I finally have a lift I guess it's time for some implements

That's funny my wife said the same thing.

The reality is the manual transmission tractors are so much easier to move around in the garage. I really need to move the 1650 towards the garage door. This is actually my basement and I try not to start stuff up in there because of the fumes, for we have 600 gallons of fish tanks on the other side in another room. The jeep goes in last and I just push it outside when I start it most of the time.

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.
