My first Cub!

[cvedder]

Here are some photos of my first cub cadet and some of the ive done on it.

Me bringing home the Cub, note the dented hood...

Brought her home and put here right to work.... It ran pretty good, but had a leaky head gasket and carb need rebuilt

The tear down began... I started just wanted to touch up some paint and clean it as best as possible but as most of you guys can relate on here... once the parts start to fly its hard to stop yourself lol

Made my own battery mat out rubber sticky back tread from the auto parts store. only $4.99.

I gave the foot rest my own little twist and used spray bedliner to refinish them.

Repainted wheels

Starting to come back together...

I ran out of paint so still have to go bracket and finsh the brack the seat mounts to.... decals are coming soon so that top off the the refurb.

And then a little fourth of july/ tractor refurb completion smoke out out!! Also coming up... refurbed mowing deck, ih cart, and ih snow plow!!!

Craig: What's cooking on the grill?

Looks like you're having more fun with your project than a teenager with a new video game!

Until you get the hang of posting on this forum, you may want to try uploading one picture at a time, add your comment --and be sure to include at least one "hard return" or <Carriage Return> or whatever you call it when you manually add a new line-- AFTER EVERY PHOTOGRAPH.

I know that will make Charlie happier.

Well Jeremiah I smoked two slabs of pork spare ribs and and two pork butts. And yes, Ive been having lots of fun with this project, I really have newfound liking for these cubs... PS I will post one pic at a time from now on lol...

Craig- nice work so far on your Cub! That is how my refurbish started on the Cubbie. I had intentions of restoring it eventually but with charging and carb problems, I started to take it apart. Now I'm in the middle of a full refurbish. How is she running for you? It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint and a little detail work will do! Do you find yourself tempted to get another one yet? Look out for "yellow fever"!

 

[cvedder]

LoL Josh, I wanted another cub within a week after getting this one. I want to try and find a hyrdostatic narrow frame next. And, knock on wood its running really well. When I first got it she wouldnt really low idle and it had a leaky head gasket. Rebuilt the carb and put on a new head gasket along will a full tune-up. She purrrs now.

I worked my butt off on this one to get her done, I did this in 7 days (after work and two weekends). I want to build a loader next!

[mhomrighausen]

David L. Congratulations and you bought it for a very reasonable price!!!

 

[jbaker]

Welcome Devin,, awesome deal

 

[mhomrighausen]

oops... tired morning eyes.... Welcome DEVIN !!!

Your first is always one to remember:

This 105 came home with me in 1999. I, also, got it for $50. It wouldn't start and when it did it wouldn't move. That was my introduction to "stuck down" relief valves. No computer, then. I "back yard mechanic'd" until it was useable and fell in love with the principle behind these machines. From there (and after getting a computer) it's been a whirlwind ride.
The pics are of when it came home and Jeanne riding it - pre digital at our place.
I'm reinforcing my previous statement that a 125 is an ideal machine for a Girl.

Ya done good, Devin!

I also picked up 2 125s one with a 10hp, 1450 parts with running 12hp, 1650 parts, 2 36in snow blowers and 42in snow blower for $825 was that a good deal?

 

[dlancaster]

10hp 125/105 with 42in blower

 

[jgoodine]

Devin sounds to me like yellow and white fever is setting in, in my neck of the woods, I would consider that a good deal. Congrats, not sure it's possible to own just one cub

 

[kostendorf]

Devin, looks like its got eye brows and a big smile of snow sittin there. Awesome...

 

[rgreenly]
