124 - first project

[PACub100]

I happened to come across this today, made an offer and the owner sold it to me. He sent more pics, I'll have to add them tomorrow, but I didn't think I did too bad for $125.
Planning on getting it together. Unsure whether I'll paint it or just clean it up, make sure it works good and sell it...

My 124 was the very first cub my dad and I very restored it’s one of my favorites. I feel like ya see way more 125 cubs then 124s. You did alright at $125 for sure.

Here's more pics. I see the brackets for the gas tank though I don't see the tank. But I can't imagine it came without one...probably turn up when I go to pick it up or while they are packing everything to move. Thank goodness it's only a few minutes up the road from here...

Looks like a do it yourself tractor kit. Should be fun.

LOL! "Some assembly required, battery not included."

Ask if they might still have the blue edging for the seat. The seat can be reupholstered but the blue edging is no longer available.

Talk about a basket case!!
That's how I got my 126 back in 2014
Good luck and have fun

I'm thinking it was all together not long ago. The guy I contacted said his son wanted to restore it but now they are moving and can't take it with them. At least I have a third of the work already done...

I highly doubt he has the edging but I'll check. I'm thinking about having a cushion made to put on the seat that way it can be removed and the cover washed.

Some of the pan seat covers fit. I have a black that I bought at Fleet Farm many years ago, it's sized to fit a full size Farmall pan seat, think of the Farmall letter series (A, B, C, H, M) and other Farmall size seats. Tractor Supply has some that might fit, here's a link to one of them, look close at the specs, there's another one that is very similar which might fit better.

Nice to know, now I'll have someone to ask "Where's this go?" and "What's this for?" and "What's the trick to get this together?"....
