Cub 122 with Danco Loader

[Matt G.]

Nice find, loaders are great. Just be very careful though...they're probably the most dangerous piece of equipment made for Cub Cadets.

Thanks! Will do! Got to stay red for a while until I get a place to take apart.

Thanks David! With out you I'd never would have found it. I was really happy in the shape of it every thing when I went to go look at it.

I have a lot of respect for the people that takes a rust bucket and turns it into a new tractor again. Missing who knows how many parts. I would be afraid that I would get in over my head. This should be fairly easy to do once the garage is built.

Good find on the loader. Not only are they handy as heck but they are fun too. Good Luck with it. I think you'll find you just need to rig some weight on the back end.

Thanks CC Rider! Looking forward to using it! I was able to get wheel weights for it (they are blue) and plan on loading the tires. I also will have the tiller or a counter weight box off the back, so I should be ok.

Thanks Nick! The PO was intent on having the box blade as close to factory as posbile. He has quite the collection! I have no clue how many tractors he has but it's a lot!

The best thing I got out of this purchase was meeting two great men.

Thanks Jason! The red isn't as bad as I thought it was when I heard what color it was. The person that painted it did a pretty good job! All the metal is in really good shape. When you pop the hood you can tell they did striped it down painted everything red. I guess they wanted it Farmall red.

One day when he gets older and has a place of his own, he'll remember the times he spent with dad and his tractor.....It's a nice package, with hydraulic lift and all the extras. Enjoy!!!!

Cub Cadet 123

Thanks Cub Cadet 123! Haha if it was a hydro model I'd be in trouble right now he can't drive it. He's a really good son and friend he's always helping me around the yard and trying to learn. He's great to be around. He's a better son then I was to my dad I'd get bored to easy and off I'd go! Poor dad had to get his own tools then!

I think I got really good package with the hydraulic rear lift and box scrape on the back and that loader is going to get used! Once I score that tiller and creeper I'll be set (for this one hehe)

Thanks Matt! I will be careful. I've used FEL's before just not this small. I tend to be safe in everything I do but accidents can and will happen.
