The Yellow Fever
Well, I never thought I'd fall prey to it, but I did. A couple weeks ago I was looking around on criagslist like i always do just to see the deals out there, and I ran across an add in Nashville, TN for a 124 with no engine and an unidentified wideframe that the guy said had a hydro and either a 10 or 12 HP kohler and a couple decks. I called the guy and he said the almost complete tractor was missing some parts, like the air cleaner and the starter didn't work, but for $175 I figured the both would be worth it, if the wide frame turned out to be too far gone I'd just part it out to fund the rebuild of my 123. So I made the trip and loaded the tractors up and when I got home I started taking a closer look. Now i knew that the almost complete tractor had to be either a 1250 or a 1450, because it had a hydraulic lift and was just a quietline missing the side panels. I at least think there were 1250's with hydraulic lifts. The only way I could find to tell the difference between a 1250 and a 1450 or 1650 would be the carburetor either a #26 or a #30. Turns out, it was a #30. I got pretty excited because I knew it was at least a 1450 then, and possibly a 1650. So I also found that the 1650's engine (K341) has 10 head bolts rather than 9 that are on the k321. So I opened the hood, and to my surprise it had 10 head bolts! So I now own a 1650 almost complete tractor. I'm going to slowly work on getting it running. Here is pictures and video of my total haul:
124 - I'm going to use the fenders off of it on my 123, and probably some other parts IMG_20101023_160655.jpg 1650 - I'm gonna get her running and make her into a daily driver IMG_20101023_160737.jpg 44" deck - also got another one just like it except with a lot more rust and holes in it, will use it to make 1 complete 44" deck, which I am almost positive will fit on the 1650, can anyone confirm that? IMG_20101023_160748.jpg 42" Deck - I hope this one will fit on the 123, not positive, though. It needs a good bit of work, including a couple holes patched. I don't know how to weld, so I will either learn how or find a friend who can. Hopefully that friend will teach me how.

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.
