"I don't use Seafoam, I use Marvel Mystery Oil..Just put an ounce or so in the gas can before you fill it up and you will be surprised at how well it cleans carbon from the cylinder."

Thanks Kevin. I will take your advice on Marvel. I took some of the tin off to look for mice nests. Found none and no leaks of any kind around the head gasket (an inspection mirror worked reasonably well).}

Thanks Dan,
You are the new guy from Mazo. I think you got the 123 at pardeeville a few minuets before I got there. I wanted to see what $125 would buy. I got my 122 a day later.Had to go all the way to New Lisbon. Mazo is not far and I know you have parts. Welcome to the forum!

Jeff. If you put a little Marvel in the gas can everytime you fill it up, You do not have to worry about carbon build-up..In fact it will clean the carbon out over time..When I pulled the head on my 102 after running it for two seasons on Marvel I was amazed how clean it was in there...In fact on the top of the piston you could see the machining grooves from when it was made..Good stuff..

Jeff-

In a way, be happy you didn't see the Pardeeville 123! I originally went to find 3 parts I needed for my 125 but my heart-strings were pulled. Being near complete disassembled, her scattered bits had to be gathered from 3 barns. We loaded everything we could find cub cadet yellow and somewhat "small tractor like" into my truck. I suspect the many missing parts are still in yet another barn up there. I need to head back up there and ask.

Lucky you! You did extremely WELL with your cub cadet, man. Enjoy the 122 and keep in touch, danWI

Dan B.
You forgot to tell him that the seats that you posted the link for don't have the correct bolt pattern to mount to Cub Cadets, and he would have to drill and add thread serts to them, or re-drill the mounts.
In case you don't know, Cub seats are 11 x 8" mounting pattern.

Jeffrey W. Welcome aboard.

I noticed that you're thinking of adding fluid to your tires. Personally, I wouldn't. I'd go for more of the metal or even homemade concrete weights. I never did like what fluid does to a rim over the long run. BTW... Sweet 122!!!
