Take your son to one of the big box stores and have him lift the rear wheels of one of their POS machines off the ground... Then take him home and have him lift the back of 124 off the ground.

I believe he will have immediate respect for the "44 year old piece of junk".

You're darn right about that Mark! These IH Cub Cadets are made very, very well. Over built is a better description!

Old And In The Way: Great job repairing the garden tractor! Glad to see we're back in business!

Have a good day gang!

Just my 2 cents but that "Piece of junk" will be running long after the crap from Lowes, Home Cheapo and MTD have been melted down for scrap and sent to China to make new crap. Nice work Buddy!

Nice 124-this has been very informative since a 124 is waiting in the wings for my next cub project.

Default Junk?

I have had my cub cadet 104 for 17 years, since I was 10. I dont know of many things that people can keep for that long with only changing the oil and filling with gas occasionally. This is why I hope people think they are old junk so I can take it off of their hands for a reasonably cheap price.


Nice 124, that is one that is on my list to acquire also.

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.
