Does anyone know if the 128 has adjustments for cutting height?

Hey guys, I finally got back to the barn and pulled out the tractor. The old Kholer started up after I "cleaned the carb" float was stuck open. Ran rather well with some new gas and an oil change. Looks like I need two new front tires (size ? or recommendations?). I also pulled the deck off, seems to be 42inch with no guide wheels, that normal? All spindles and blades spin freely and little to no through rust, looks to be all surface (overall I'm pretty happy so far).

Good Looking 128. As for the front tires, if you have the narrow rims most people here like the Deestone Tri Ribs. 4.00x8. The deck is normal. Gauge wheels were an option that you could add by welding on the brackets and installing the wheels.

Thanks for the link, the current tire on the tractor is "Goodyear Highlander GT" 4.8-8. I'm assuming the rim is 3.75" or 4" wide.

Is there a how-to for mounting your own tires? Or would I have to take them to shop?

You might google 'changing tire'.
And also look on you tube.

Your 128 is made in 1971. I can tell by there is no 3 holes on the left side of the frame.

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.
