What to do...
So I'm looking at all the recently acquired Cub stuff in my garage, and I'm not sure which way I want to go with it. I really like the 1450, I want to fab up custom hydraulics and some other features. It is in pretty good shape, a few more minor repairs and it will be useable, there is very little rust, the engine runs very well and it has the hydraulics. The 128 is cool in the other direction that it's all manual, gear drive with creeper, but the fenders are rusty enough to name it Pongo. I hate to chop up the 128 but it may be a bigger project than I want to undertake, with limited storage and funds. The engine needs rebuilt and the whole thing really needs complete restoration. I'd rather have multiple implements for the hydro than two tractors I think. I'd really hate to have to throw any of the 128 away because the parts wouldn't sell though. Would it be worth parting the 128 to care for the 1450 and find more attachments? Do you think there is a market for the parts besides the drivetrain?
I've got to be careful with what I'm acquiring, I'm out of space and running out of play money here. It may be better to save one than let both of them go to pot. What do you think?

Speaking from only my personal experience, your 128 is worth more parted out than selling it whole. It's not especially collectible yet but if they keep getting scrapped then that is going to make them harder to find in later years. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not trying to discourage you from parting it out. It's just part of the hobby. Some stay, some go. A fair amount of parts will sell but you are going to reach a point where the sales stop and you have a steel lump taking up space. If you need the space that's the time to scrap it or give it away.

Don't scrap it. It grinds my gears when I hear people say that they scrapped usable cub parts.

Where does everyone think the parts come from when you want to 'option up' your Cub Cadet, or need a driveshaft, or a hydro unit, or need a new deck? Nobody on this forum is going to offer him more than $200 for the whole tractor and he can get that just for the creeper.

Thanks guys for your insight. Minnesota, I would never dream of scrapping something someone could use, I have probably too much compassion for orphaned machines. If I decide to dismantle the 128 I will put the parts here first.

Lots of misunderstanding going on here I think.
I don't think the OP ever had an intention of "scrapping" anything. Scrapping is hauling off the parts to the metal yard to cash them in purely on the weight value. gsomersjr is talking about PARTING the machine out, an entirely different proposition. Sounds like to me he is in favor of it in certain situations, in which case J-mech wouldn't want to keep him quiet.

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.
