Default Cub Cadet 124 Freebie
Just brought home this 124 freebie. Its not running at this time, but the engine is loose. Need to check things out and see what the problems are. The serial # is 250xxx which I believe makes it a 1968 model.

I charged the battery up, shot some gas in the carb, and it fired up. The carb looks like it has some gummy gas residue in the throat so I will be pulling it down for a good cleaning.

Enjoy that one: Those deals just don't come along very often, especially when you can shoot a little gas to them and fire them up.

I pulled the carb and ran it through the sonic cleaner. It cleaned up good. I put a new fuel line on as the old one was rubbing on the throttle shaft. I put some fuel in the tank and within a couple cranks she was up and running. It seems to run pretty good. All of the gears work in the trans. the steering could be tightened up a little, but overall its a good sound tractor.

It a cheap one from Harbor Freight. I use straight Simple Green in it and have pretty good results. It amazes me how much crud it will remove.

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.
