Hello From Eastern PA with a 123
Hello,
Just joined today, so I thought I would say hi, I purchased a Cub Cadet 123 about a year ago. Came here because of some quirks I am having and am looking for some insight. Anyway Just thought I would say Hi and hopefully get pointed in the direction where I can find the most information about the 123 to help me keep it maintained and running. I have no pictures just yet, but do have a video of my son giving it a go when we first got it which is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gGcGUivMOI Love this little cub, from what I can tell it was built in 67, but still not 100% sure. My biggest concern that I have with it, is the other day I was out mowing. I was out for about 45 min or so. Anyway it seemed that my deck was seizing up on it as it was having trouble engaging. When I would engage the deck it would bog the engine down to almost stall until I disengaged the mower deck. With the mower deck disengaged, it ran pretty normal it seemed, not any loss of power but a few misfires getting it back up to the garage, anyway when I shut it off it sounded as if the gas was boiling in the tank, engine seemed way to hot and I had a pretty strong steady stream of vapor coming out of the pin hole in the fuel cap. Anyway, Ill get some pics posted up once I get her put back together, took it apart to explore how to break it apart as I discovered I have a bent drive shaft or worn out rag joint, and the transmission fan is gone. Parts wont be in for a week so going to have to do with out it and hopefully keep it going. Anyway its great to be here, and Im looking forward to learning as much as I can about this great little cub.

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.
