Default Project 1200 DONE!!!
Hey guys finally got her done today. Got her for free. 1200 with a bad/no throw out bearing. Sat for 4+ years in barn and never ran. Got her home, put a little gas in it and fired right up and pto worked good too, just didnt move.

Fast forward 6 months. 2 of those actually working on it, buyin parts weekly as needed.

Now she is done and put back together. Runs good. Smokes little, as I didnt tear motor apart as she was a runner. I can deal with a little puff here and there.

She is by far NOT a beauty queen!! Never ment to be. Never will be. She is gonna be my work horse weekly mower. Only reason for refresh. My Troy is on its last leg. It was a very used rider i got for free from my dad but it never let me down and still takes a licking and keeps on ticking, but rear end is getting bad and its not servicable that i know of.

Put alot of new parts in my 1200. Basically just general maintence. Coil, condenser, silly noid, ignition switch, points, head gasket, head bolts, black iron pipe exhaust, muffler, solid motor mounts, 3 pin driver, throw out bearing, rear end seal and fluid, mule drive belt, deck belt, sharpen blades, paint deck, power wash all the crud out of deck bearing and regrease, new battery, new battery cables, rebuilt carb, lots and lots of new nuts and bolts as needed, tube in 1 tire, repaint seat pan (still got to make seat cover).

Got a little seat time today and made a couple passes mowing between rain storms and did great. Now gotta wait for rain to stop and dry up little.

Got her stuck in the ditch because of stearing radius is WAY wider than my Troy, but she pulled out of it when I sat my fat butt on the fender over the tire that was spinning. Gonna take alot of getting used to this new turning radius.

Here are some pics. Yes I know many "parts" are missing. Never got them when I got it and like I said it was free. Only replaced nessary parts to make and keep it running. Side covers, muffler box, and that piece of tin that goes between motor and gas tank were never there and not buying/installing them either. I know they "help with cooling". Blah blah blay

Take care everyone.
Enjoy them CUBS!!!!
John

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.
