cub 125.JPG

I cleaned out the steering box on my 125, regreased it and put it back together. Now I only have a 2"-3" worth of wiggle in my steering wheel insted of 1/3 of a wheel turn.

I also took out the front axle pin and replaced it with a 3/4" bolt and nut which tighend up the front axle.

Then I shaved the stops on top of the axle so I have more clearance going over the ruff turain in my back yard.

Then I moved the pivot point on the steering and shaved the stops on the axle so it steers sharper!

BAAM! Next is to put an FEL on it that a picked up last week! Yahoo!

I guess I've got to drop the loader and get some pics for you then! You had me thinking you was going to leave it on the PK.

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.
