The 125 Winter Project
It's time to get started on the 125 as my winter time fun. Have run it
now for a couple years and have had good luck but it certainly is a bit tired. Compression is pretty weak about 60 and she is starting to smoke some etc etc. The rear end leaks pretty good. Cork gasket I am sure and both axle seals as well are quite gooey. There is a lot of gasket sealer in all kinds of places from the previous owner so no telling where all this will go. I found a local machine shop who kinda reluctantly agreed to do the machine work on the engine for me. I don't actually think he minds he just makes his living doing big stuff, haul trucks and the like. I pulled the head and the bore actually looked pretty good except one big nasty scratch from top to bottom. Darn. First time inside one of these narrow frame models. Always appreciate the input and all the good schooling I get from you folks. Don't want to get far down the road before Christmas as the Grandson will be here and we can explore together, KenDSCN1611.jpg DSCN1614.jpg DSCN1615.jpg

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.
