Default Cub Cadet 122 disassembly
I've posted before about the Cub Cadet 122 that I inherited. I'm in the process of restoring it, and I have it all taken apart now. Here are some pictures:





One of the bolt heads sheared off when I tried to unbolt the engine. I'll have to work on that later. I also need to decide whether to paint the engine yellow or leave it black.



When I went to unbolt the transaxle from the frame, water began pouring out of the hole.



Once it drained from that hole and I took the drain plug out, a ton of water came out of there, too, and made my drain pan overflow.







Next up will be sanding the paint a bit and then applying some automotive paint to it. I'm thinking of going with a primer coat, a base coat, and then a clear coat in the original colors. I also need to find a grille for the front and the piece that holds the headlights in place. My decals arrived from Maple Hunter Decals the other day, so I'm getting closer.

Everything looks great. That's a lot of water in that rear axle. Be sure to take lots of pics!

Place a want ad in the wanted section of the site and if that doesn't work call or email one of our site sponsers.

How can that much water get in the rear end? Through the shifter? I'm anxious to see the gears and what condition they are in.
Looks like you are diving right in, post pics of your progress.

Yeah, the shifter wasn't in place and I could see down into the transmission from the top of the tractor. It sat like that outside for years.

I don't want to take the transmission apart if I don't have to. I want to see the condition that the gears are in but I don't want to create more problems for myself.

Just try driving it when you get it back together, if there's a lot of noise and resistance then it'll need a tear down.

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.
