I'm having some big problems with the engine in my 123. I'm thinking that the quickest fix right now would be to swap engines. Does anyone know what kind of issues I would run into taking the engine from my 1250 and putting it in the 123? I know the motor mounts are different. If I used most of the accessories from the 123 would it work?
When I did the mounts on my 1650 I did the cradle mod and only tightened the mounts to the point where one thread was showing on each one. It is glass smooth at WOT and it does not have balance gears. I think your mounts are too tight.
As soon as one of those idiots gets killed doing a wheelie some lawyer will get their kin a million dollars because Cub Cadet didn't have a sticker on the dash saying not to operate a Cub Cadet when your IQ is less than 10.
My paint order DID arrive yesterday and I was busy this afternoon spray bombing the remaining parts. I'm waiting on a new seat so the old one went back on as this guy has to work tomorrow. The tunnel cover is awaiting it's new decal. It's been alot of fun to refurb. this old tractor with the help of this forum and it's fine sponsors.
Many thanks to all who contribute here and have made this a pleasure.
I had a BAD cub day Saturday. I was mowing with the good old 149 (#1) and suddenly, there was a ratteling in the engine and before I could shut it off, I got the upgraded optional "ventelated block". So now I need to find a block for my 149. The only good thing is I have 149 (#2) waiting in the garage, so I could finish the lawn.
