I just pick this one up yesterday, this is my first cub cadet ih, im hoping you guys can help determine exactly what model it is, i know im going to have to get a airfilter housing for it and a battery, but it has good compression and im feeling lucky. Thank you for welcoming me to the community

Looks like a 108 or 128 from here.

this is the “DNA test” (S/N) necessary to iD the Cub, correct?

to cross reference with:

i struggle to compute…

or perhaps this is the droids we’re looking for: (???)

i just can’t make out whazzit.

not sure one the 3rd digit on the s/n 543 or 548, either makes it a 1975 Feb to Apr

Kid code of 2050055 if I read correctly which is not on my list I have, but would be a 1000 if a 10hp, 1200 if a 12hp as I see it.
It has a starter/stator so if correct engine would be a quiet line

Looks like Bill J. was spot-on, but this exercise helps me understand how he/we reach such a conclusion. Thanks, all!

The tag on the rear and to the left on transmission will tell what year it is.
