Cleanin up the 1250
Alrighty, I am gonna start cleaning and fixing up my 1250. I am broke, so I am gonna do what I can with nothing. Tractors story, I got her off of craigslist $250. She was inherited to the previous owner from a passed friend. Owner used it, to mow be for he passed on.. The new guy didn't want a Cub, when he had a Zero turn Deere.. So he put it up.. I got her.. Just to warn you, she was giving a bad, brushed on paint job before I got her also. Notice the yellow side covers. (currently taking a palm sander to the orig. paint job. ill get pics up soon) So far, I have replaced the motor mounts, cleaned the orange gas out (found a pc of what looks like hardened tree sap in there)some leafs, stones and bug guts. She had a mouse nest in the flywheel housing. Got that out!! Cleaned the points. Changed the valves. Newer battery. the pics are gonna be before I really did anything to her except the battery change.

http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/p...pictureid=5782
This is simply just a computer shot of my palm sander job, on my side cover. Look at what I found... This is where my painting contractor skills come out to play... I saved the stickers under the brushed on primer and paint... well, from a distance.. up close you can see the swirls. shhh, hahaha..

Cool story. Paint is easier to fix than a lot of crazy stupid PO mods. I'd rather have a 1250 than a JD (anything) zero turn.

You did well for $250! I seen worse one selling on CL for the same amount of money.
Take tons of picture + don't forget to bag and label every nuts and bolds. Most prefer doing the mechanical+electric repair first and take care of the "show and shine" lastly but since your budget is limited you do what ever you could as long you make progress and enjoy doing 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.
