Nate is definitely growing up. I think once this thing is running, it should be the fastest mower of the bunch. I think the specs show that this will go 8 mph in top gear while the others top out around 6. That is, unless we did a pulley swap or something fun like that!
I know this is a couple of years old but for people who see this video in the future, I am relatively certain from memory (and I am pretty sure I see it in the video) the 125 has a hydro relief lever that should be engaged when the tractor is being moved (not under power) by either pushing or pulling. failing to pull the lever would make those flat tires seem extra flat :) Failing to do so can also damage the hydro unit. If I remember correctly all hydro Cubs up until at least the 1650 have them. My newest Cub is a red1982 1282 and it is does not have one but all of my earlier hydros had them. Hope you got her running. They are such great machines. I currently have a 1450 all original with 400 original hours. It has a rear lift, mower deck, rear tiller, plow, and snow blower. also 2 sets of wheel weights and the original cub yellow cover. And then I have the 1282 puller just because I REALLY like red tractors👍
Nathan has grown so much! Can't wait to see the Cadet running. Then everyone in the family can ride one at the same time-- mower racing!
