Am I the only one in So. Cal.? 125 in Los Angeles
Greetings! I am picking up a very nice, very original ’69 125. Apparently it spent a number of years in some form of private “tractor museum”; I don’t know about that but I do know it looks like it’s never had a single hard day at work. I don’t have it home yet, and when I saw it, it had a dead battery so I don’t know if actually runs or moves. But it “RAN WHEN PARKED” about a decade ago. I know. I think (hope) it’s going to be fine, and the gentleman that I’m buying from said he made a point of starting it up each year. Although last time he started it he said the carb was acting up and it would not idle. So I know a carb rebuild is on the priority list. I know buying this is a gamble, but I have a good feeling about it; we’ll soon see. I plan to put this guy to work at a weekend, eventual retirement property in Ojai. But the tractor is coming without any implements and no hitch, so assuming I can easily get it going, I’ll soon be in the market for sleeve hitch, dump cart, rear blade, plough. Besides rebuilding the carb and replacing fluids and filters, any advice for first order of business? Also, as for carb, is it easy to tell if the carb that is on it is the original Kohler/Carter carb and not a cheap replacement? Thanks everyone; I’ll post pictures once I have it home and I look forward to sharing with and benefiting from this forum.

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.
