Cub 5 still alive!
In between the snow and freezing temperatures this past week. I was itching to get the Cub 123 going that I had just bought. It was a small mess under the hood, but it's straightened out now and running great! The guy I purchased it from could not get it going and was driving himself nuts before he posted it on Craigslist. He had bought a new coil, condensor, spark plug and rebuilt the carburetor. Put it all in and still couldn't get it going and had intermittent spark. Also it was leaking near the fuel shut off on the tank. So he caked it up with plumber's putty. Anyway I fixed the leak, fixed the coil(which was wired backwards), replaced the burnt wire, replaced the condensor, cleaned the points with a file and changed the exhaust stack (1" gas pipe) back to a regular muffler. I figured I'd check the spark before I put the cover on just to be sure even though I new it was all wired right. And guess what, no spark! Everything tested good, I knew the points were clean and getting contact. And I was getting nothing. So after 15 minutes of banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. I went back to the points. While turning the engine over i put pressure on the points and bam. I had perfect spark! Apparently I over looked the spring on them. It was so weak that if I blew on it, it would move. So I took the points off, and "tweaked" the spring so it would snap back. I put everything back together, and it stated right up! I drove it for about a half hour. It runs and drives great! But When the warm weather comes. I need to straighten out the steering. It has some play in it. For now, I need to get back onto the 1650, and see why it won't drive. I don't know the history on it. And when I bought the tractor. It had no steering colum and the wiring was a mess. Now that all that is straightened out. I want to drive it!

Thank you again for the warm welcome! I haven't had much of a chance to sit down and relax, so I haven't been able to reply. But I absolutley plan on posting more pictures just as soon as the weather gets warmer! I live in New England, nuff said lol.. Speaking about that I live in Warwick. The part of RI with the least amount of farms, and more city. So when I drive my cubs around. I definitely get good attention. Especially when me and my kids drive them around! OH YEA, I added one more to my collection. It's a 122. I picked it up Thursday. Its missing the right side wheel spindle, so I have to find one. Other than that is all together and it runs! I will post a picture. I have been thinking about selling either my 1650, or my 1450 (not that I want to) so I can find and buy a 125. I LOVE the 60's cubs and those are the ones that bring me back to my childhood. When I used to stare through my picket fence as a boy and watch the neighbor cut his grass on one. Im still learning about these cubs. And I know the 125 and 124 are the same body. But what I like is the white dash with the blue. And the chrome shifter on the hydro drive. I never seen one in person. So there might be other differences. But from pictures I've seen they appear to be very similar. Anyway, I'll talk to you guys soon!

Cadzag72, going by the bottom of your reply. It looks like you'd be one of the people I'd want to talk to about a snowblower attachment and down the road maybe leads to a front loader when I get some extra money. Maybe you would know places near us to get certain parts as well. Im looking for some miscellaneous things. Also I would love to see some pictures of your cubs and anyone else who would like to share! I can't get enough of these and my little boy is just as crazy about them too!

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.
