Default Cub Cadet 129

Was the 129 a good little tractor? I can see this is going to get addictive

They are a dime a dozen but they are good tractors, pretty easy to find parts for. A wide frame tractor.

I had a 129 (albeit re-powered with a 14hp) and it was a solid little guy. Stout frame, years of refinement to it, mine even had a cigarette lighter So yes, while they are still fairly common, they are good tractors. Just keep an eye on the trunnion but that goes for any hydro Cub.

They wouldn't do that. IMO, this is the friendliest and most informational Cub Cadet forums out there.

Piece of advice if you start collecting: I would stay away from the quietlines until you are more experienced. They require the most work out of all the IH tractors, they are certainly unique when it comes to the problems they have. I have 2 and one has pretty much every problem that the quietlines have. They are nice tractors if you can find one that doesn't have every problem under the sun. Here's a picture of one of mine.

Cub Cadet 129's are great working tractors. My first wide frame was a 129. Put a replacement motor in it and it ran great for years. Finally sold it to a guy who wanted a mowing tractor. Bought my second last summer because I missed my first one. Second one became my snow throwing machine and I love it. Runs good and hardly any maintenence to it.

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.
