Default Frist Time Cub Cadet 125 Owner..

Hello to all !!!! I have just picked up my first Cub Cadet 125, from a friend. Its in ok shape some rust and the 12 HP k301 which runs very well, just needs a little work. This past weekend after a little c-list shopping we now have a 48 inch Deck. I am currently stationed at Fort Eustis Virginia in the US Army as a 15U ACFT instructor heavy lift for AIT. I hope to expand my knowledge on the model and restore . Have a great night to all.

A little bit of TLC will make that 125 look GREAT. That 48" deck will make short work of your mowing. (that's why I like my 38" deck on my Model 800....more seat time)

Again, welcome. This is THE PLACE for all things Cub Cadet, from the Original Model through the current MTD made machines.

So, put on the coffee, pull up a chair and stay awhile.

The 125 is a great tractor. I have two and they are probably my favorite, along side my 1250.

Thanks to all for the welcome !!!! I know its does not look like much now but with a lot of work and time I know that is will turn out to be a great little work horse. A little work done today but it looks like I will need a sand blaster to get some parts done right.

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.
