Put the 50" deck on the 129 a little while ago and have been out killing grass with it. AWESOME MOWING MOSHENE! Gotta agree with Matt about the PTO SMOOTH. I'm so used to the elec clutch's that I forgot how nice the old manuel PTOs engage. I'd still be out mowing but the head lights don't work....yet.

Yes Duke I'll get some pics for you tomorrow.

Got to mow again with the 1711. New Coil made a huge difference. I have come to the conclusion I hate turf tires with only air in them. This thing spins the rear tires so easy... Guess I'll have to add ags and fluid to the Christmas and Birthday list this year. I am going to have to take the starter out and see if I can clean it. It stuck on me twice today. Not really a big deal, I have a long screwdriver I can use to get the bendix gear back into place, but it is just a PITA to have to do it. I am keeping my fingers crossed it is a starter with a nut on the end of the gear instead of one of those newer style permanent fixtures.

It'll be a lot more effective if it is cleaned before it is re-lubricated.

Got the 63O an oil change and then put it to work hauling hedge trimmings. That little tractor is rapidly becoming my favorite to use. It steers like power steering and it putts around the yard at about 500 RPM. I know why someone here accurately coined them the "Yard Harley".

I need to redo steering and wiring and I'm going to seriously enjoy this thing for a long time!

Had a little set back with the 129 today. I didn't notice that the inside of the gas tank was full of rust. From running the little bit that I have the rust is coming loose and made a mess of the filter. Looks like I'm gonna have to give it the old sheet rock screws in the tank and shake cleaning then Kreem it.

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.
