Hmm didn't think of that one but Allen did mention it to me.

If it wasn't for cub123 I would have missed it. I'm always willing to meet forum members. No really no one here in Statesville that has the fever.

Glad you got that one. Let me know if you are parting out that tiller or if you just want to get rid of that belt shield......seems like I could use one!!!

Haha That might be a lonely limb your climbing out on. I've got special place in my garage for the tiller. I've been pretty luckey both tillers I've owned have had the belt shield.

Thank you Diz Jr!

My friend was talking like he wanted the 125 to mow with but it seems he's gotten cold feet now that I've picked it up so not sure what I'm going to do with it. I'm going to put my 44" mower deck on it and show it to him then maybe he'll change his mind. If I didn't have plans to buy a 149 with a freshly rebuilt 0.10 over motor I might be temped to keep it, but space is tight in the garage. And thanks to Jude I've got the I need a O bug pretty bad, so really trying to get one of those before I would keep this one.

Before you go tearing the carb apart, try a can of PB Tune-up-in-a-can. I know it sounds like a line, but that stuff works! If it doesn't work, then you can be pretty sure you need to overhaul the carb...either that or it's a completely different problem, like the coil overheating.

Nice find Methos.....i'm going with the bad coil theory....don't hold on to the 125 to long...it will grow on you. I bought mine 6 years ago for the snowblower that came with it....plans were to sell the 125...just kinda grew on me...be careful...it could happen to you...

Nice find, Duke!

I can help you remove those wheel weights and load them on my truck when I come to see you. You don't want those ugly things on there, right?!

Metalrain yours looks nice too even with all that white stuff around them. If I didn't have the 149 lined up I'd think about it, but space in the garage is limited so not going to be able to keep it. Going to try the coil off my 122 tonight and see how it does then.

Haha Steve those wheel weights are staying with me. I need them for the replacement loader, but I know where some more are at if Jude doesn't beat you to them. I hope to have them on the 122 by the time you come on down. I might have to have them welded on so your not temped by them.

That 125 looks nice, most likely a coil causing your problem.

I got a chance to change the coil, condenser, spark plug and spark plug wire off my 122 to the 125. I took the gas cap off completly. No change in how it ran so I took the carb bowl off and only had little bit of gas in it. Checked to make sure the valve was open, and it was so I've got a fuel supply problem. It got dark so I'll have to pull the gas tank and check it out tomorrow.

I thought that is what it sounded like, a clogged fuel line.....but there could literally be dozens of things that would be problematic not allowing it to run. Let us know when you get it going. I wish I had been in that locale....it is a really nice setup. When I saw it on E-bay, I couldn't believe the list price. Glad that you read my post and are happy with your purchase!!! BTW.....For my two cents worth, I think that you will keep the 125 or your buddy will try to talk you into selling it to him once it is up and running!!!

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.
