My new 1970 127
Just bought a 1970 model 127 the other day. It seems pretty complete and pretty original, and in good condition. Just a couple questions though. The seat on it is a plain metal seat with holes in it like the real old tractors and implements used. Most pictures I've seen show a padded seat. Is this the wrong seat, or is the padding part just missing? Also the turn radius seems very large, probably something like 20' I'd say. Is this normal?
 I have not had time to mess with it very much other than just riding around up and down the driveway. Thanks for your help and understanding.

Sounds like the wrong seat. The cubs never have the greatest turning radius but yours seems a bit large, I'd adjust everything and make sure its turning freely and see if it helps. You can download the manual in the tech section.

^^^Agreed.
My 147 (basically the same machine) actually has a pretty decent turn, so yours sounds like it needs a tweak. As far as the seat, it would have been padded originally, and it would be obvious if the pad was simply missing. Sounds like someone tossed on an old substitute. Here are a few good candidates for that machine: (I bought the one pictured last, from Cub Cadet. Not cheap, but I really like it on the 127/147's. Northern Tool  Hoober  Cub Cadet

Many people on here have been using this seat. I will probably get a couple of them next summer. Only $84 shipped.

Wow I didn't know they made the 6 pad still, looks great. I bought one identical to the first pic from northern tool when I redid my 127. The ebay one looks good too.
The correct one is more of a mid back with small lines all over it for the 1#7 series correct? Yoda you got a pic of one?

Alvy, yes that 6-pad is actually still available directly from the Cub Cadet website. I got mine elsewhere but it was still around $130. You are correct in that the mid-back seat is technically more accurate. The image on the middle seat has since disappeared, but I think it's the closest I've ever seen to the OEM that had all the lines impressed in the surface. hoober.com is where I found that pic.
Bolivier, you cannot go wrong with that seat you posted. I put one on my 882, rugged and comfortable.

Anyone know the part number of that 6 pad seat? Or a source besides CC? I'd like to put one on my 86.

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.
