My first Cub Cadet
Well I actually have had this tractor since last year but haven't been able to do a whole lot with it until now. Its been mainly used for pulling trailers and the yard roller around the yard and that's pretty much it. Have been slowly getting things fixed on it and ready to be able to start mowing with it. The tractor is a Cub 125. So far I really like it and hope to be able to use it to replace my newer huskee tractor with since the only thing the huskee is good for is mowing the yard. Would rather have just one tractor be able to do it all.
When I got the tractor it came with a 42" mower deck, snow plow, chains, and wheel weights. I ended up picking up a set of tires for it that way I didn't have to keep putting on and taking off the tire chains. I have never mowed with a tractor this old, are there any tips I should know about before I start using it? Can I mow as fast with this tractor as I could with the newer huskee model? Is there a certain rpm that I should engage the pto so it doesn't hurt anything on the mower? How tight should I make the rod that tightens down the pto? Here are a couple of pics of the tractor   Can anyone tell me if this is a factory hitch or if its something someone made for it?  Plan is to use the tractor for normal yard stuff and slowly do small things to it to bring it make to like new condition with new paint and parts. Now if I can just keep it to only a couple tractors as I'm already eyeing another cub for sale here in town.

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.
