The only thing I would be ruining is the hood and frame. I just found out the shafts spin opposite way and don't feel like getting into a big project. I wanted to do it to go into the woods to manage my 20 acres. I already have a nice 123 and don't want to ruin it.

drifter, I'm not 100% sold on the idea that the hydro pump is "junk" simply because its "not running".

MY experience:

IHCC model 1250: Rear wheels locked up. At this point, I was not going to waste my time trying to get it running to find out what I had. Tore into the hydro pump, and all the "bullet-looking thingys" in the motor section of the pump was chewed up beyond belief!

The 1250, I had determined was "dragged" at some point, which is the most damaging type of result in a "junk" pump you can discover. Dragging totally wipes out a hydro pump.

My current 125 can be pushed around the garage not running, and with no fluid in the hydro unit. In most cases, and everyone should know this, is that when the tractor sits for a long period of time, the pressure drops, and the hydro drive tractor is able to free-wheel around. Just ask anyone why there is a brake peddle and brake system on a hydro drive.

Just saying, the unit in your 123 might still be good. Just dont can it.

Gotcha. I think I'm going to abandon the idea because the shafts spin different directions any way

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.
