    Got my first and only Cub home today, a 123. I'm really going to enjoy this and I'm sure I'm going to need your help and advice. Meanwhile here's some pictures

    I drove, I saw, I purchased. I'm now the proud owner (though not yet in possession) of a Model 123. I will go to get it next weekend , but after some years of checking out Cubs, I'm going to own one. I got to mow some with it and I like the Hydro. It'll need some work, but that's part of...

    Well, I'm hoping that tomorrow is a good day for a drive and a visit to go see the 123 in the earlier picture. It seems well cared for and owned by a guy willing to spend a lot of email time detailing the condition. This is a whole lot more fun process than buying a tin mower at the Big Box...

    Want good running Cub w/mower deck and 12HP or greater engine. Hydro a plus, but all models considered. Not looking for a hangar queen but a good working tractor. I'm in east central NC , but will drive a reasonable distance for the right unit. Thanks! Pictures appreciated.

    Hello Frank There IS a 149 ... it's a bit far away (150 miles) but it's possible. That's one with full hydro, both for trans and lift, correct? John

    I like turning wrenches and fixing stuff, so that's a plus, and I *have* priced the MTD stuff at the Box Store. I've gone that route before , which is why I ended up here (I've visited off and on over the past couple years before I was in the market, so it was only a matter of time). Frank...

    Thanks guys...asking price for each is in the $500-600 range (I've got my list at work, but I know it's in that range). Is the perception of these as all collectors items common in other locations? Each of the ones I've called about I've been asked if I was a collector. My answer has been...

    OK, at the risk of trying your patience here's one other candidate for your commentary...a 582 that's available locally. Known problems are said to be 1) One of two governor springs are missing, preventing the engine from maintaining normal operating revs. 2) Clutch pilot bushing is...

    OK, here's the rest of the photos of the 123 I'm thinking about. Your comments (and any particular things to look at when I get to see it in person) are greatly appreciated. I think this is going to be fun! Thanks guys John

    Located a model 123 not too far away. Differential cover looks different from other models I've been seeing pictures of, or am I just getting models confused. I think the 123 is the first Hydro tranny, right? Thanks for tolerating my n00bie questions! John

    Thanks and you're right, it IS like asking that! I've been reading quite a lot for some weeks (and curious for some time before that, but since it's getting time to replace my Big Box unit, I'm getting more serious. I'm in NC and there's not a huge amount of these for sale , but more than...

    Thanks for the welcome. I guess I knew that was a dumb question. I've got a largish lawn and am looking for one to actually use for mowing and general household use (hauling, thatching, etc). I'm a decent mechanic and refuse to buy more MTD throwaway items. Besides there's pride in ownership of...

    Hello, this is my first post here, as I'm looking for my first Cub Cadet. Any suggestions on particular models to seek, or avoid for that matter? I'm not interested in any post-81 versions. I've been looking for information on which mowing deck fits which model Cub? Is there a matrix...
