Saved another one…..
Where to start. Bought this ’78 1250 for my son’s first home purchase to take care of 2 acres. Three years of work he got out of it, two years of shed storage because lack of power. Hauled it home and let it sit under a tarp for a year. Last fall I decided to tear into it and fix it. You can see from the pictures the end results, it’s a keeper. I'm in the process of selling my other two Massey’s. Some of the things I did to bring it back to life:
- Motor rebuild. Rings, piston, connecting rod, valves (burnt exhaust valve lack of power culprit), stator, points, condenser, coil, coil wire, plug and gasket set. - Fixed the leaking cork gasket at hydro pump, new filter and fluid - New front tires - Adjusted and greased all fittings and linkages. - Rebuilt mower deck added rear roller and anti scalp rolls - Painted - If I missed anything, the pictures tell the story. All the above work done by yours truly, it was a fun journey now its time to get some work out of it. Great web site for info. Comments or questions are welcome. |

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.
