Default video of the 127

I picked up this 127 a while back and got a chance to work on it today.Besides what is on the video...
The frame is cracked, funny spark plug , must be for more power, never seen one before. In the process of putting a new head gasket on it. I have another 127 in need of a motor so this one will be for my parts dept. Click on the picture to start video.

That was a spacer to keep the plug away from an engine that burned oil and fouled plugs. I don't know if they worked.

Wow that's interesting, I've never seen one either.

That dash tin looks decent, footrests and other stuff gone already? Lew i like the parts department idea. I would like to fill out an application.

Yep! Anti-fouler. Hope it doesn't smoke!

How on earth do you completely loose those bolts?

The heads are actually broken off.Looks to have been that way for a long time.

That head gasket prolly was leaking for years as there was so much crud around the engine cooling fins,most of the head bolts came off with little effort.This was always a garage kept tractor and there is very little rust on it.

It looks like it's in really good shape. The first cub I ever owned was a 127. Can't seem to find one for a reasonable price, or in as good of shape as mine was. Only reason I want one is because of it being my "first". I'm really not a NF guy.

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.
