OK, Got to it today. Took it apart, installed the replacement shifter and here it is ready to go back together:
  A little fussing and almost back together and discover that the new/old shifter is correct in all the way instead of the shape of shifter handle... would not work! But due to something I learned while doing this, namely, you do not have to split the tractor to get to the shifter like I was told in an earlier post. I took the shifter off and a little cut and wielding of the old and new shifter shafts, all is sweet. Together again! Running great. Will do some paint work and then put it to work.

I'm going to sand blast the wheels today and get some paint on them as well as touch up the paint where needed.
What is really confusing is that the workshop manual tells me that the tractor has to be split to get to the shifter, where in fact if you remove the fenders and thus get access to the sheet metal that makes up the seat base (three bolts on a side) you have access to the shifter plate and it's bolts. I split the tractor without removing the seat and fenders but removed them to make putting it back together. Low and behold, the shifter plate and bolts were right there in front of me when I got the back half installed. I know I can remove the shifter with the tractor together because I had to remove it to fix the height and form of the new/old shifter I installed. Strange. Others with a 124 might check this out if they have to remove their shifter. Question! Does the breather right next to the creeper gear lever have some kind of top on it? Mine was clogged up with gunk and after I cleaned it it seemed that water or anything else could just go straight down it. Seems it should have a cap or something on it to prevent it.

Yes there is a cap that goes on the top of the breather. It is an odd sort of thing that looks like a cap that is sort of crimped on but still can be moved a little. You have to keep the dirt out but at the same time allow any pressure to be relieved.

Your creeper gear breather should look like this.

Lets see.... Two days : Took tractor apart and repaired shifter, put back together. Repainted all the white and most of the yellow. Made a custom grill.
Tomorrow I will replace the mower deck belt, sharpen the blades and remount to mower. Being retired I need projects like this to keep me busy. I will give the 1650 that was given to me a couple of years ago a close look and maybe do the same to it. It is all there including the side panels. This 124 will be going to my summer place on the water to do the mowing chores. I will first drive it to my neighbor from whom I bought it from. He had it sitting in the woods behind his house. He got it from his dad (who bought it new) and used it until the shifter broke sever years ago. You could still shift it if you held the shifter to kept it from rotating. I think he will be quite surprised as my son is. My son was questioning my messing with a 44 year old piece of junk (his words). Now he says it don't look that "old" after all. Kids these days don't appreciate things from "back in the day" or the quality that was put into them.

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.
