Coop...thanks. He sure has a bunch of them. In that one picture alone it looks like around 10 - all stacked up on top of each other in piles! Most look a bit rough but I did email him to get more info. It was also suggested to me that I might be ok just rebuilding mine with new spindles. Won't know what shape the entire top surface is in until I take everything apart. I've only ever had the blades off but never anything beyond that.

I'll check it out. I usually start with the Reading site since that's the closest to me, but often the search extends out from there anyway. Thanks...

It has been listed a month, updated 10 days ago. You would have an operational 129 and a complete parts donor too. https://reading.craigslist.org/grd/d...613121362.html Or how about a782D?????? You can run with the big boy wannabees! https://lancaster.craigslist.org/grd...648846272.html |

Mr Gretsch:
YOU can find out what any attachment(s) that went to a given tractor model, by simply going to the Top of the Page and selecting the "Cub Cadet Parts and Service Lookup" tab and click on it. Once re-directed, type in your model and hit enter (ie: 129). When the options sections Pop Up, click on "Attachments". WhaLa.....it tells you all the available attachments for that model. By the way, for the 129, there were Three Decks available * Model 38 * Model 44 * Model 50 With the right adapting package, one could retrofit the older 38, 42, and 48 mower decks. And, one could retrofit the newer 38A, 44A, & 50A, and the 38C, 44C, and 50C decks too.

With adequate storage space (not certain of that yet), I've been considering the option of buying a new tractor and also putting one of Jon's engines in the Cub. Can't hurt to have a back-up tractor in the event that one of them is temporarily out of commission or in the shop - especially during a critical time (like now...in the middle of the mowing season!) Additionally, the one area I mow (not part of my property...L O N G story) is fairly rough terrain, and so perhaps the Cub could be the workhorse that would continue to handle that job but if I were to go that route certainly a rebuilt (or another used deck in good shape) and new front wheels would be high on the list before I'd use the Cub much further. Getting tired of always glancing over at that left front wheel while mowing and wondering when it's going to just about fall off again once another set of bearings bites the dust. I must be the only guy around that makes it a point of keeping about 4 sets of bearings on hand at all times. (Then again, the 2-tractor option may well be born mostly out of the sentimentality associated with the 129 and reluctance to see it go) One of these years I believe I do need to break this perpetual spell I appear to be under of resisting getting rid of old equipment - like my car, for instance, that's on its 3rd engine. Just the other day, I put new belts in a 47-year old washing machine that was making noises every time the spin cycle engaged. A definite pattern here. It may well stem from only being one generation removed from that (my parents) which lived through the depression. My dad's unspoken motto was that you never got rid of anything..."cause you never know when you might need it". As easy as that philosophy is to poke fun at, there have been times when I wanted something and then realized I trashed it 3 months ago. Oh, and I'm still hanging on to my '95 iMac too...so you get the idea. At 62 years old, however, one really should be in the divesting as opposed to accumulation phase of life. The idea of downsizing has more and more appeal. So...2 tractors? Not sure it's the logical thing to do, but as was quoted in the 4th Star Trek movie, "who ever said the human race was logical"? On a lighter note, talked to one of the old farmers who lives near me - he was out with his big International tractor (59 years old!) today and had his belt-driven sickle bar hooked up cutting weeds (same property I referred to earlier). We got talking so I asked him his thoughts on my 129. He said if it were him he'd put the rebuilt engine in it rather than buy new. |

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.
