I like that..... so similar to my 123. What a price!
Mine has the original tires, too, and I agree that there's just something about the design that I really like. (My avatar pic was taken when I was testing the bar tires... I went back to the originals, and have chains for them if needed.)
Keep us posted!

Nice score! Funny I just bought a 125 also for $150. Drove it on trailer. I didnt get a deck or mule drive and PTO clutch needs some love. Looks like you got the better deal. lol Great find!

My 149 got a good spring workout in today. Moving firewood around after splitting and a good aerating of the yard.

Was that a driving factor in the initial purchase ? My intention is to restore as many Cubs as I can to original condition. That brings up another question. What is restored ? I see many applications of this term abused on online auctions and other venues . To many it, means a new paint job. Even if it's the wrong paint. Guys, if Your going to go to the trouble of stripping down one of these fine machines and painting it ........... For goodness sakes "USE THE CUB PAINT" !!!!!!! Spend the extra 15 dollars and buy the right stuff. Anyhow, that is not a restoration. Restoration means taking out the clip board and compiling the deviation from factory specs. The obvious, head gasket leaks, tie rod ends, brake wear, tire rot, carb throttle shaft wear, front axle pivot point shimming, hydro control spring wear and swash plate input shaft leaks. Clutch and brake adjustment . The thing with most of these older Cubs is .....the thing that should wear out the most wears out the least. These old single cylinder engines just run forever and ever. They are a stone ax and a tribute to American ingenuity !!!! You all have fine machines. There are a few modifications that have been added to some Cubs here that I don't understand. So ,what do you guys think a restored Cub should entail ??? PS, Grey531 has a swell tractor that he has tweaked himself in a short period of time. Nice job Art !!
I tend to agree with 75 percent of what you say because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I like to tear 'em down and put them back together using the best stuff within reason, and to the best of my ability.
The 25 percent I don't go along with is because I'm not a purist. If I come up with a modification or see another enthusiasts idea that makes it a better tractor, I'm doin' it. And when it comes to painting,
the brand, the colors, and the schemes I use are what I want because it's my tractor and I'm not "restoring" it to put it in a museum.

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.
