What to do...
So I'm looking at all the recently acquired Cub stuff in my garage, and I'm not sure which way I want to go with it. I really like the 1450, I want to fab up custom hydraulics and some other features. It is in pretty good shape, a few more minor repairs and it will be useable, there is very little rust, the engine runs very well and it has the hydraulics. The 128 is cool in the other direction that it's all manual, gear drive with creeper, but the fenders are rusty enough to name it Pongo. I hate to chop up the 128 but it may be a bigger project than I want to undertake, with limited storage and funds. The engine needs rebuilt and the whole thing really needs complete restoration. I'd rather have multiple implements for the hydro than two tractors I think. I'd really hate to have to throw any of the 128 away because the parts wouldn't sell though. Would it be worth parting the 128 to care for the 1450 and find more attachments? Do you think there is a market for the parts besides the drivetrain?
I've got to be careful with what I'm acquiring, I'm out of space and running out of play money here. It may be better to save one than let both of them go to pot. What do you think?

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.
