Being as the bank was closed I couldn't buy it right then, so we agreed on a price and I would return tomorrow. The following day I returned, the 129 had a new battery in it and a full tank of gas. The owner came out and says "sorry man I couldn't get it running. If you still want it give me a hundred dollars less.". Here I am thinking the worst, needing a motor. So I grabbed it, brought her home, unloaded her and started going over it. Well..... I looked at the fuel petcock.... It was off. Opened it up, cranked over o couple times and fired right up. Now I'm REALLY happy. Cuts great, no creep steering is a little sloppy but after all it is 40 years old. Best 2 bills I ever spent. I'm posting from my phone and I don't know how to post pictures from it, if someone can take picture messages and post them here, I would be glad to send em to you. PM if your willing to do that.
Thanks
Proud new IH 129 owner Jim.
Congrats on a sweet deal! To help with posting pics.

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.
