Cc 124
Hello
I find myself here because I just picked up a CC 124 this weekend because I liked the condition of it. I already have a 1650 Hydro (Got for free) that is complete and runs fine. It is complete with all sheet metal including side panels in good shape. Just missing grill. The 124 has been well cared for and kept in garage it's entire life. Same family owned it from new. Came with owners manual and Blur Ribbon Service Manual. Extra belts and even 4 Qt. of 30 weight straight oil. It has a 3 point hitch and creeper gear. I am torn between just using it as designed and spiffing it up or doing a paint job. The only problem is with the shift lever rotating. I know by reading posts here what the problem is but I can still shift by holding the shift lever so it doesn't rotate and I goes into the gears OK. Will it hurt it if I continue to use it as is or trying to take it or should I take it apart and fix it? It is very complete and the only thing missing is the grill on this one also. I have looked at pictures of 124s online and a lot of them are missing the screen guard over the clutch but mine is there and with perfect paint as is most of the rest. Only paint problems is where normal wear is expected. The deck looks great and I am surprised how well it held up with great paint also. It has lights installed where they should be but the light switch is where the cigarette lighter should be. Is that dealer installed or just an owner mod? By checking the serial number it was made in early 1969. I should have taken pictures but when I bought it I was just thinking of having it as a backup mower at my fishing cabin where I have the 1650. I grew up on a farm and like old things. My house for example was built in 1750. OK, my rambling is running too long but I am excited finding this machine this old and in great shape. I will get some photos of it soon. Damn, that creeper gearing is LOW. Also, is the 1650 hydro meant to run so fast in high gear? And the hydro control is really touchy! Move it just a little and hold on. It will do a wheelie if giving it power and pushing the lever all the way forward.

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.
