That was back when many lawn tractors enjoyed a good reputation; I have no idea of their production numbers but they were in big numbers where we lived (Midwest).

Speaking of which, it’s not a real tractor but it’s the Kohler engine of my mid 1960s Cub Cadet 123 that I rebuilt. Putting on the final touches. Found an nice machine shop in Statesville North Carolina that handled the machining for me. I have to button up a beefier front axle(mounting, etc), because I found a loader for the 123 and the stock axle probably would not handle the rates load of the loader. While I managed to find two sets of wheel weights and a set of new Ag R1 tires for the rear to help with traction and have them installed, I still have to mount the hydraulic pump and install a new wiring harness that I went ahead and splurged on. Engine has some new paint, but the 123 is an older restoration; so making the paint too nice would make the engine stick out like a sore thumb :-)</div><div><br></div><div> <br><div><div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr" id="ox-0c4c742b71-AppleMailSignature">Spencer Yost</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></body></html>
