I actually am torn. I like the fenders on the 127 better because they are alot stronger and look a bit tougher. I do like some aspects of the 105 better.

I like the rear with the internal brakes, much cleaner look and less stuff outside to mess with.

I like the PTO handle on the 105 better, its just out of the way.

Well its funny how 50 turns into 125.........but its all there. I really bought it for parts, but......it runs and runs good, so I will either keep it or sell it to someone who is looking for one. A buddy of mine has a 73 that I really want to buy. But its expensive since the motor is totally rebuilt and all it needs is a paint job, its real nice !!! but I am getting attached to the 105 ha ha

the brakes, really? That's one of the main reasons I wanted my 127 was the external brakes, but you don't have the hills up there either. But unless I weigh it down some those external brakes are just gonna help me skid better.

I have wondered about the fenders how sturdy they were since they look welded. Just take them off and put some 26x12's on there.

why would the externals be better for you? I am curious. I like the internal because they will never get caught on anything and are out of the way.

the external brakes, like a car.. *can* give you better stopping, but only if the tractor is weighed properly. If not all that is going to happen is you're going to go sliding, get pushed around by not being heavy enough. Scott Murphy gave me a really good lecture on brakes, center of gravity, weights.... somewhere in one of my first posts it's there.

My big problem used to be the brakes that CC uses now are more or less just an internal parking brakes, no real brakes. I would go downhill mowing on my property and yell to my wife "I love you!!" in case she never saw me again! Even the internal brake used on an IH cub is a HUGE improvement over what they use now. Partstree and CC has the exploded diagrams on their sites if you ever want to compare size of the disc pucks of something like a IH brake vs. something like my GT2544, it's sad what people do to save a $$$.

The external brakes can also be separated, which is really handy for snow removal (and other things).

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.
