Yep, I would say it is a 129 with a 149 hood and dash, I was really wanting a second 149 to use for mowing duties and keep it in original paint scheme, the one in my build thread, "Cub 149 Resto-mod" is going to be red. I will keep this oem looking and re decal it with correct 129 decals when I give it the once over, heck it is the 149's littler brother, close enough!

You can find the 129 with hydro lift on them. And you can drop in the 14 cause it aint like a narrow frame. I had this tractor biught it from the original owner who remember his uncle placing the order with the dealer to have hydro lift installed. I put the front end under it and the loader on it. It was a plowing fool! You couldnt tell the differance between the 129 and 149's Ive had.

I like your idea of keeping it a 129. I have two 149s and would love to have one of each of the 1x8/9s. You did good on price to!

Thanks for the comments guys!
This morning I had a chance to work on the new "129" (was getting burned out sanding and painting parts on the 149). I decided I need to start on the rear end, get out the broken bolts in the left axle tube, where it bolts to the frame. I dropped the rear cover, removed the rear wheels, disk brake calipers, and pulled the axle out. I then removed the remaing bolts from the axle tube and got it off the tractor. After putting up a fight, I was able to get the remains (broken off just below the surface of the rear diff) of the bolts out. Removing the axle tube destroyed the gasket that seals it to the diff, I did not want to wait on parts, so I cut a new gasket out of a sheet of cork gasket material I had on hand. Since i had the cork out, i went ahead and made a gasket for the rear cover and one to replace the seal between the pump and diff. I am thinking it would be okay to go this route, the axle tube gasket's purpose is to keep the fluid in and the elements out, anyone see me running into any problems going this route? I knew the right side axle tube axle seal was bad, inside of that wheel is covered in hytran and dirt, turns out the right side one was leaking too, but not nearly as badly. I called it a day, went to the auto parts store and ordered the axle seals, hytran replacement, and new filter. This stuff will be in tomorrow, if I get the chance I will put the seals in, brakes and wheels back on, and then split the tractor to replace the seal between the pump and diff, give it a good power washing, and deal with the trunion repairs. I am just trying to get this one repaired for now to use it, so trying to get stuff fixed as quickly as I can. This brings up another question, has anyone ever split their tractors without removing the rear fenders/ seat pan. I think I am going to try to go this route, would save me some time not removing those items. Sorry for not posting pics, was in a bit of a hurry to get done!

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.
