Just sold my GE Elec-Trak and looking to replace it with a Cub Cadet 102 or something of that vintage with the straight, flat hood and 44" or 48" mower.

JACK - Welcome to IH Cub Cadet.com. If I could make a suggestion, look for a 12 or maybe 14 hp tractor. Preferably a Hydro, infinent speed selection, shift on the go from creeping speed to 8 mph. Shift from forward to reverse instantly.. They don't quite put ALL the engine power to the rear wheels but they put enough. They increase productivity by letting you run the exact speed you need/want.
I'm positive I will be subjected to some good natured kidding because I've always been an avid gear drive person, which with a Cub Cadet means 3 speeds forward, one reverse. I have a model 70 I mowed with from 1965 till about 1976 when Dad took over mowing. About 1979 I bought my used #72, very similar in most respects to the 70. I had a 129 hydro and 44" deck from 1988 till 2006, and a 982 hydro & 50 inch deck since 2000. I semi-retired it in 2016 with a Cub Cadet zero turn. It cut my mowing time from 3-1/2 to 4 hours with the 982 to 2-1/2 to 3 hours with the zero turn. For comparison, the 70 or 72 with 38 inch mower took 5 to 5-1/2 hours to mow.
We had a discussion on GE Electrac tractors here years ago, they were quite a machine, many years ahead of the competition.

Very nice, thank you. I bought a 1092 in very good shape but need to do things that'l make it mine.
Oops! It's a102, not a 1092.
That's fantastic. May we know what it is you need to do to make it yours?
