First Cub Cadets
I'm new to this website and I thought I'd share with you guys my new work/play toys. I responded to a craigslist ad the other day for a Cub Cadet "Original" and while I was there I picked up a '67 124 for $50 bringing the combined grand total to $200. The Original has no exhaust pipe or carb. and has been plugged off and the 124 doesn't have the factory hood and it doesn't run. I was told it ran last year. I'm going to get the 124 running first since I plan on actually using this one ASAP and leaving it unrestored while the "Original" will not be kept original. A full resto is planned.
I've been looking for an "Original" Cub Cadet because my father owned an International Harvester dealership back in the day and I use to go to his garage at the dealership when I was a kid and ride around on the old Cubs. It's been many moons since I've been around old Cub Cadets and I would like to get some info on what to check on the 124 to get it up and running. I pulled the plug and cleaned it and set the propper gap. I also sanded the ignition points and checked for spark. It has spark but will not fire. I've tried starting fluid and only twice did it make any sound like it was trying to fire. Mostly it just cranked and cranked with no reaction. When I had the plug removed and touching the block for spark check, the spark was strong most of the time but every once and a while it would be weak. Any idea what my problem is?

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.
