New guy here. Bought a 129 this morning.

Title says it all.

Day dreaming too much about homesteading.

Came across a listing for a ‘72 Cub Cadet 129 and it sits in my back yard now.

The picture is the one from the listing. I had enough time to take the grand kids on a couple of laps around the yard and head back out.

I’ll post more pictures down the road I’m sure.

It looks nice. Good to see you here.

Welcome. Tractor looks nice. I just bought one like that to rebuild and will be looking forward to your pictures. They may help me with mine.

 

[kmcconaughey]

WELCOME! That looks to be in very good condition.

 

[DanReeve]

Thank you all for the comments.

CC guy, it will probably be the other way around. I’ll be needing all the help I can get.

I already found the FAQ page which seems invaluable.

Good looking tractor. Welcome to the group from one new guy to another.

 

[Ron Armbruster]

Welcome from another newcomer. Nice choice for a first tractor. There is TONS of great information here and kind friendly folks willing to share and help out.

 

[knolte]

It's a strange bunch that can find the beauty in an old tractor but I guess we must all be a part of that.
Random thought here as I peruse the forum before starting my workday.

Welcome Dan, Hope you enjoy your cub, but be careful, they tend to multiply !!

 

[Ron Armbruster]

If you buy a second one, keep them covered up. If they lock eyes they will reproduce.

 

[DanReeve]

Thank you everyone for the welcome.

Yes, this one is likely to multiply and had already attempted to. I was looking for more stuff and found a listing for another129 with lift bar. The price they were asking was almost worth just that. But I asked and they had sold it the day before. When was this you ask? The same day I picked up the first one.

I’m definitely going to need to clean out more of the garage.

now if I could find an old pic of the one my grandfather used to have... From the best of recollections from me, my brother and father, I think he had a 125 bought in the mid 60’s.

Dan it works kinda like this.....

Just a side note the boat in the background is a 1965 Chrysler Mustang. Yep that's really a Chrysler Mustang.
