Great score on a nicely equipped 124! Go down about half way on the page to find the 1x4/1x5 model wiring diagram, which should help you hooking up your light switch.
Go to the Resources section of the forum, Technical Library for Tractors and on page 5 you will find the Wiring Diagram for NF (Narrow Frames). About half way down the page, you will find the wiring schemata for a 1x4/1x5 tractor...….see if that helps! Look at the weights carefully, they look like they should fit. Sometimes if they are very heavy they may be hard to hold in place. What I would do is jack up the cub, remove a rear wheel, lay it flat on the ground and then put a wheel weight inside to see if it will work and take measurements if necessary. I would think that some carriage bolts and washers should put you in business with them. Any place that you want to get a sleeve hitch pin is your choice, should not be a problem. Jeff is a great fella to do business with, as is all of our sponsors. Cub Cadet 123

Thanks for the tips.
I was able to wire up the lights using the great diagram in the tech section so thank you for pointing that out. The bad news is one of my "new" lights was actually an old one that someone undoubtedly put in the box and returned. I think I have a wire switched at the switch side because the one good light comes on regardless of the key position or the switch position. I am a rookie at wiring so I am sure I screwed it up but will take another look. |

It did not have a fuse inline from the switch to the amp gauge. I found one at the auto parts store when I was swapping bulbs. They only one they had was a 30amp. ****Just swapped out the old switch and replaced it while also adding an inline fuse. Everything is working perfectly now. I did realize that the left side light is missing the Headlight retaining ring. I wonder if this is why the bulb was cracked. I bet those are not easy to find.

Save your old switch. Don't toss it! You might be surprised how many cubs I come across that are missing the screw on knob, so you might need it for "parts" sometime or clean it up, spray some PB Blaster on it and work it a little to free it up. I had one that was stuck (had been out in the weather for many years), I got it to move and it did not seem to work. Cleaned it up and freed it up, then thought well....might as well try it once more to see if that made a difference and it sure did. Never had a problem with it since 2009!

Jeff, I will send you a PM.
I did save the old switch to see if I can get it cleaned up. The weights don't line up. They are about 1/4 too shallow (the slots) and the bolts wont go through. I am going to take an angle grinder to try and grind them down but its going to take a while since it is 2" thick. We may be expecting some snow this weekend so I was hoping to get them figured out before then and then I will pull out the chains that came with it. I put the plow blade on tonight as well. How do you guys determine when to use the blower vs. plow blade? I know the older throwers are not good for wet snow but lets say 3 inches of dry snow. Plow or Throw? |

~~~~~~~~~~ Since the slots need to be deeper, could you use some 5/16 or 3/8 all thread to hold the weights in place since you have snow coming? That would distort easy enough to probably work. |

I'd guess that your carriage bolts you'd want to mount the wheel weights to the rear rims would be 1/2" ? You might be able to drill that with a regular electric hand drill, starting with two smaller bits and finishing with the 1/2" bit. You'd only need two holes per weight.
Nice purchase, btw!

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.
