Trying to choose 105 vs 125
Hi, I just purchased a 105 and a 125 with the intent of using one for snow blowing and some other utility work. The other will either be used for parts or maybe another future project. It was a package deal that included some other cool stuff as well.
Anyway, is there any specific $$ value or differences that would lean to one vs the other? The 105 runs but has some charging issue and also low on power. The motor was supposedly rebuilt a bit ago but supposedly has some points issue. The 125 does not run and is in much worse cosmetic shape. It supposedly needs points and a carb rebuild. It has the headlights option which is neat. Initially I was leaning towards the 125 since it has a k301 (?) 12hp vs the 10hp. I believe they are both narrow frames but did they change anything to accommodate the 12hp motor? I just got them home so have not had a chance to mess with them yet. Just trying to focus my initial efforts on one vs the other. Still new to these old cubs but slowly learning  Thanks.

Keep them both, get them both running. If you can afford both then you don't have to decide anything.

Thanks all. I didn't want to invest in one vs the other if one was more rare or valuable. I think I am going to invest in the usual new battery, carb clean/rebuilt, plugs and see how they both go.
I had a bit of time today to mess with the 105 since it was the closest to running. Cleaned the sediment bowl and ran some carb cleaner through the carb. It starts with a fresh battery but amp meter shows D(ischarge) vs C(harge). The day I picked it up we had to either jump it to keep running or run a fresh battery. Previous owner said it had points issues, is there a minimum voltage where the points/magneto(?) or other ignition parts will cut out? I know I need to trace the charging issue but the cutting off is odd to me. I am more familiar with slightly more modern ignitions (duraspark, hei etc). The VR looks to be shiny so probably pretty new and the wiring to it is pretty new too. I found some wiring diagrams on the site so will trace with that too. thanks.

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.
