Todd some great suggestions given already. I'm sure you'll have it figured out in no time. The engine service manual is in the tech section of the site for download. It has the govenor info there.

Evan loves his 125! It's been a great tractor and for a tractor that I was going to sell to a buddy of mine it's been great owning it! I work the day lights out of it and Evan gets 95% of his seat time in it and I don't see us parting with it now.

Great landscaping too! Looks a bit chilly out.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I'll give them a try when I get a little time over the weekend.
Yeh Duke, it was around 55 on Sun. and that's still to cold for me. Give me the 70's, then I'm happy
I got a guy coming from Iowa Fri. to pick up 100 pt.2 I had to let it go to make room. I think I'm bringing home a 122. Good chance anyway. I haven't even seen it yet, but it sure sounds good anyway. But one had to go first.

That 125 cuts nice! So, do you like hydros, or gear drives better? Not counting getting on/ off the thing.

I guess if I could only have one it would be the hydro, for the ease of operation. Push one lever forward or backward, simple as it get's.
But I'm sure you could ask 10 people and get a 50- 50 split on the answer, but I really do like my 100 with the creeper. Feels like you got all the stump pulling grunt you'll ever need. As long as you can get it to hook up anyway.

I don't have a creeper, and always run out of traction before power! Most times near low idle too. Soon, Ill get to see what a hydro feels like.

I love the sound the hydro makes, it's music to my ears.

You can never spend too much time on a Cub.

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.
