    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Thanks for the info RAllison. They are very similar for sure. I took mine apart a few years ago and can't remember what the bearings looked like but I don't think they were tapered roller bearings. I'll have to take it apart again to verify what they are.

    Thanks for the reply. I did line up the two outer blades and got 42"s. That must be right, but I didn't see a 42" listed to buy bearings for it.

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Hey everyone. I put the mower deck on and mowed the lawn today. The tractor runs really good with lots of power and no smoke. The mower deck needs a new spindle bearing but I don't know what model or size it is, the tags are gone. I will post pictures of it and maybe someone can ID it for me. I...

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Thanks Kraig. This is getting better and better. These pictures are worth at least 2000 words. Not only does the spring get more tension but the rear attachment is much stronger being on the outside of the frame. I can't wait to try this new installation, new to me anyway, and thanks to this...

    Hey Lewis, thank you thank you.Turning the bracket around should do the trick. Such a simple solution and I couldn't see it. A picture is worth a thousand words!

    Here are a couple pictures showing the spring assist tensioning bolt and how I got it to go as far as it could go. Also a picture of my little test garden. I did tighten the throttle lever and it now stays in position when under full, or near full, running position.

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Thanks Kraig for the info. Getting the throttle to stay put looks to be easy enough and will be a big help when operating the tractor. However the assist spring is another story. I am sure I have it installed correctly per the installation instructions you provided. I have tensioned the spring...

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Hello everyone. I've got the 128 working with the tiller hooked up. There are two problems I have to work out though. Hopefully someone here can help. The first problem and the most problematic is what Kharvey mentioned. It is virtually impossible to lift the tiller with the implement handle. I...

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    I don't remember the name of the store, but found it online searching for cub cadet parts. They had a lot of parts with the IH part numbers listed. I believe it was the only one they had. They got a good dollar for it, 183.00, but it is really nice and not cheap made.

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Hey everyone, I've made some progress on my 128. As you can see it is looking much better. I also did some mechanical work on it too. I removed the rear cover for the differential and removed the old dirty , water polluted fluid. I also drained the dirty fluid from the creeper drive housing. I...

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Hi everyone. I am a new member, the first time I've posted anyway. I have been a Cub Cadet enthusiast since the early 60's when my Dad brought one home. It wasn't long before I started plowing gardens in the summer with a turning blade and plowing driveways in the winter with the snow blade. I...
