    129 Pictures

    Some time aga, I bought a 129 that was all in Rubbermaid totes. The big problem I have with that is that the hydrostat linkages do not seem to go as the parts book show, and it has been a long time since one came into the dealership. Could someone get me to a picture of the inside of the frame...

    XT 1 enduro series

    XT1 tractors are XT2's with the bumper removed, bushing instead of bearings in the front wheels, Squared tires that are more likely to scuff on a hard turn and no arm rests. Some years have a Chinese Cub engine instead of a Koehler 7000 series and a less durable transaxle. They will mow for...

    Bought something else i prolly dont need.

    In our area of New England we find fuel source and age will make a big difference when starting. No discount fuel, mid grade or higher from a good gas station. If stabilized with a good stabilizer, keep less than 40 days. Unstabilized, 20 days. With good, new fuel, 2 to 3 pulls on choke...

    Ancestor to the Cyclops?

    Maybe an engineering prototype that escaped?

    just a reminder about mice

    We probably see 2 to 3 cubs a year in the dealership with destroyed engines because of mice. I pay to have traps at my home. He changes the food every couple of months so they don't get to know what it is and avoid it. Well worth every penny in my book.

    Just another 129 project

    Yesterday was getting the 1641 ready for summer as a backup mower. The middle photo shows the primary mower in the background. Today is more on the 129.

    Just another 129 project

    So last weekend was doing more to get the engine put together. When I put it in the frame, I left the starter generator, carb, muffler and other accessories off to make it easier to move. Last weekend I got it bolted in and most of the accessories on.

    Can't find a starter for a Cub Cadet LT42. Weird!

    That engine and starter were both made in China for Cub Cadet. Many of the higher priced units taht year had the Koehler 7000 or Kawasaki engines, so they were not all that common overall. The parts for those engines have been slow, but they are coming through, so contact a good dealer and be...

    Looking at 1641

    Find out the service history, also. Those engines were supposed to have the valves adjusted every three hundred hours. I will tell you from mine, it does make a big difference in how they run. It can also make a difference in the engine life span.

    Just another 129 project

    So the front axle was reworked with a new bushing before I bought it. Everything has a coat of paint, although it is not all the proper shade. it was done with what was on hand. The lift shaft is in place, but I have one more spiroil pin to put in place. The dash tower has been started and...

    USPS SUCKS!!

    And all of them are better than Amazon in our area. And they tore up my driveway a year ago, we called them about the damage, and they wouldnt even consider looking at the damage without a video. Last package from them, canceled all services from them. All they had to do was look at it.

    Just another 129 project

    As it was when I got it. It has been interesting trying to find what parts were missing and what were still with it.

    Just another 129 project

    So in October 2020 We moved from a 3 acre house and property to a one acre plot. All of my cubs had to go as they would not fit in the new shed. And as any cub guy would do, the search was on for new to me Cubs. I found a 1641 that was marking it territory with Hy-tran. That was the first...

    Deals

    No deals in this corner of the country either. The dealership here normally starts with 7 trailer loads of Cubs for the season--Got almost one so far. Then I find an I1042 in Craigslist for $2650.00! I am not sure two of them would have been worth that new, but what do I know. Still working...

    Considering an electric XT1 LT42E........whataya know about them...?

    Cub has used three different systems in the last couple of years in those tractors. The parts and systems are NOT interchangeable. Very few techs seem to be fluent in the systems yet and most of the dealers I know don't stock the parts yet. I am in Connecticut and the dealer I work for had...
