A neighbor came by over the weekend and made a good offer on my 122 junker so I am going to sell it to him. That will leave me with my restored 124 to work with. It doesn't need much to get on the track. I already have a pulling hitch and wheelie bars.

Since I actually use this cub on weekends to move dirt and stuff on a piece of land I am clearing, I can't afford to have it break down. So, the plan now is to rebuild the clutch with a 6 pin driver, hardened drive shaft, and red spring. The stock driver will be converted to 6 pin. It will still be essentially stock so it may slide. While I am doing that, I will go ahead and install the fine splined axles and carrier I bought a while back. The worst that can happen is they move me up to the garden modified class.

Default Not necessary

I don't think the six pin driver and fine splines are necessary at all! I would agree with a red spring but I think your spending money that doesn't need to be spent. Been pulling a 104 for three years now with a red spring and a 10% overdrive and doing real well. Governor get your governor set right and you will do well! Most people don't know how to set a governor at all for pulling! My two cents!

and then reset the stop so its at 3800. there is a setup I like to use that when they tack you it will read 3800 , 4000 or whatever. but when you get going down the track it raise's 200 rpm . there's also another setup I like to use that makes the governor very sensitive to any amount of load.

I actually like third or so hole up and get as much stretch on the governor spring as I can. It's the best when the tractor sounds horrible until 3/4 of the way down the track and then the governor takes over!

Do you use a pulling hitch or the stock hitch?

I build a pulling hitch that is adjustable, angle iron 1 piece of flat stock, and some 5/8 ready rod. Easy to build if I get a chance I will snap a pic

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.
