Restoring Cub Cadet 129

[Redfisher]

Hello, I thought you guys might like to see a picture series of the 1974 Cub Cadet that i'm restoring.

First picture is of the 129,149 basket case,deck and blower.(all stuffed in our 69 dodge truck box trailer)/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Here's a better pic of the 129.(No engine yet) not bad shape for 28 years old.(notice the cut out grill,I can only guess why)

So I took it north to the cottage to unload,and store all the extra parts.Just happen to have a 10 hp engine i rebuilt for my dads 1969 Cub 104.(peeking out from behind the door)
Being that the 129 is hydrostatic drive i thought it better be tested/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The 104 engine went in like a charm.Had to move the coil to fit her in but not too much work.(not a bad lookin machine)
oh "F" is for Forward.(the cub drives great,lots of power with just the ten hp)/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Here's a close up of the 129 with the 104 engine.(they don't build them like that anymore)

I was so fast taking the cub apart that I forgot to take any photo's/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
