Thanks 107! May have found that exhaust elbow locally and ordered a new crossmount muffler off ebay.
Also, ordered a set of 3500lb spindles and 5x4.5" hubs to do the front spindle upgrade. About to get a set of 5.70x8" 5-bolt load range D wheel/tire set. That should handle all the punishment that a loader can deliver and then some. In fact the center pin or something else would fail first. Gonna hit my friend's junkyard and look for the smallest power steering box I can find. Tomorrow or Mon should have a rust free tower as well. (Fingers crossed he has the same one, bringing mine to match it up) By then, the engine tune up kit will show up and I can mount the new carb, change the oil, and give it a good run. Oh and it seems Fedex may have lost my new ag rears!!!!! Says "delivered". NOPE! Already opened a case with them...

LOL I wish! We had a Noreaster blow thru and now its much colder but thats todays project hopefully (working outside). Found a tower about an hour away and need this one to match it up as he doesnt know what it came from. I dont know what other models have the same tower as a 123. In fact here's a pic in case anyone recognizes it.

Cool thanks that helps. Tower is free! Lotta rust required patient persuasion on the linkage clevice pin. But got the column out, then freed the hydro linkage, then the tower came right off as u said it would.
When it gets warm again this could use a good power wash then address the rust and pitting temporarily wire brush, prime and rattle can paint. In the future when the 100 is done (and I know how to paint properly!) This can be stripped down and properly restored. In warm weather next year. For now, hopefully get it running and looking at some used snow plows of various brands for 50-100 range. None have the CC framework but can fab that.

It looks a little rough but it does seem to be hanging in there. Or least its just hanging.

Just surface rust and some pitting. The tower is being replaced everything else needle scaler and primer maybe a skim coat of hard filler...

Dang the base of that tower was bad. Whole thing seems to have crumbled apart.
I spotted another issue with your old dash tower, too... There's an ammeter in it! ![]() The 123 did not come stock with an ammeter, so someone at some point drilled a big hole right in the center of the dash to mount it...

Yes the previous owner said he installed the ammeter years ago.
Which brings me to another question I believe I read somewhere that the L on the voltage regulator actually stands for "light" and somehow there is a possibility for a charging light where the light stays off when the generator is generating a charge into the battery but comes on if that stops. Just like the old dash "generator light" in our cars back in the day. I could be wrong about that and I'll have to look into it but it would be nice to put a little indicator light to show if the charging system develops a problem. Also I did check the hydro fluid and it's almost to the top in the differential and looks Tan in color, maybe it smells a little bit burnt and I don't know if there's water on the bottom either until it gets changed but at least it's encouraging that it was plenty of fluid and looks kind of normal...

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.
