Grille Insert Prototype:
Well, there! Thanks for starting the new thread. I just finished going all through the Sandbox to see if a thread had been started on the Tiger Cub. There hasn't. Thanks for the pics, too. I've got fenders and seat base. Would you believe that I just recently sold my last fiberglass seat?
Already some interest in the Main Forum (thanks, guys!).
Now, "Hold my beer and watch this!".
P.S. The cast iron grille base weighs 42.8 pounds. Glad you don't need one!!!

The 107 driveshaft is the same as the 123. $103.12, new (and that's just the shaft).
On a side note, that 107 once had a Danco loader on it, which now resides in Massachusetts. From what I've read here about vibrating engines, there's guys who would kill for the smoothness of the 10hp that Don has hidden somewhere.

I have to look through my spares ,but I think I have a drive shaft . I will have to make a list and then check what parts I do have. I will need a seat for sure, to bad you sold your last one
. Raining here today , but I will make room in the shop for the 123 and have a close look at it and see if I can get it running. I will let you know what I find. later Don T

Don, Frank, you should post a "need" list for project Tiger Cub... I might have a fiberglass pan seat. No upholstery on it but it can be reupholstered. I'll have to check the shed. I know I have several around but I need to do a count as I need some of them for my own projects.
Well, I thought I had a fourth fiberglass pan seat that was missing the blue edging. I can't find it. All I see are the two for my two 105s and the one that I had reupholstered for my #1 125. I'll keep looking perhaps I'm only thinking I had a fourth seat. I know I wasn't thinking of the one that is on my #2 125...
Guys I will post a list soon as to what parts we will need to have the 123 running. This will be a fun project for me and Frank and in two weeks my wife will be off vacation and I can get at the list of parts needed. I hope the Tiger Cub comes out great and maybe Charlie will add it`s picture at the top of the main page. The 123 was an important Cub because of it had the hydro installed. IH did a lot to boost sales of there hydro tractor and an important part of there history. Later Don T

Found this that I'd posted in another forum:

I guess the "Jumping Tiger" and the story of how IH showcased their introduction of the hydrostatic transmission to their garden tractor line with the 123 ("Easy as 1-2-3") is what attracts me the the 123s. There's 5 of them here, one of which I sold to a friend and "winter over" for him, 1 is for parts, and the other 3 are useable, if not "just right". They're all from different states - RI, MA, NH, NY, and PA. I thought I'd build a "Tiger Cub" for the 50th Anniversary of Cub Cadet in 2011, but now I guess I'll shoot for the 123's 50th in the Fall of 2015! According to Ken Updike in FARMALL CUB & CUB CADET (gotta love that book) the list price of a 123 was $1,082. I imagine that was without any attachments.
Also found that Mike LaMar has or had a Leopard Cub.

Went "hunting" through my archives and got this nice leopard cub.

Don T. (& all):
Thunderstorms put the end to my mowing for today. Just printed out your 123 pics. You're right about that being a nice hood! Red air cleaner cover has to go! That round hole just forward of the seat area makes me think that someone took a short cut to get to the relief valves. Muffler's shot?

We will be needing a wiring harness for the 123 build . What is there is in real bad shape . We have at least one more camping trip planned with the fifth wheel camper this year for our 38 year married . So I can`t get out of that trip lol. Would the harness be a donated part or what $$ do you need ? I will soon be making a list of parts needed . Frank will send over the tin pieces the 123 needs and I will soon be shop bound for the winter working at my Cubs. Later Don T

Donald..Well I havent even thought about that to be honest.I did just look at your profile,Your in canada! lol Looks like you got a real nice fleet of cubs,even a deisel in there.When is Frank going to get that list together? I'm sure we can figure somthing out , Its not going anywhere . I got it cause I got what I thought was a pretty good deal.IDK much about hydros but what is there,its in good shape. I've got some other projects goin myself,maybe we could swap a lil somthing.Or maybe if you pay the shipping and put my name in the donated parts section on the build that would be just fine. lol we'll figure it out
