Wheel-N-It 2,967 #1 Posted July 1, 2013 My life long friend Mark FINALLY got a small bite from the vintage LAGT bug. Yesterday we made the 2&1/2 hour round trip to pick up this one owner Cub Cadet 106. A couple of hours after we rolled it in the shop, we had it running. It needs a good tuning, and a clutch return spring but overall its in fine shape for it's age. Here are some pics of Mark and the Cub Cadet. It will not be seeing any mowing duty, just tractor work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,558 #3 Posted July 1, 2013 Looks like a sturdy machine. Will this get "fixed up" and used to fund a future Wheel Horse maybe? Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,528 #4 Posted July 1, 2013 Looks like it will make a good worker. Does it have a Kohler engine ? I don't know much about Cub Cadet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #5 Posted July 1, 2013 Knowing Mark the way I do, I'm quite sure this old Cub Cadet will be in first class shape before he is satisfied with it. So yes, it will be restored. It will not be a show tractor, but definetly a top notch working tractor. Looks like it will make a good worker. Does it have a Kohler engine ? I don't know much about Cub Cadet. Yes,, a Kohler 10hp K engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeave96 487 #12 Posted July 2, 2013 Van, I've got a 126 - nice machine. Also have a 109 with a well worn 10hp engine. That engine, as tired as it is, pulls the mower great - even in the tall grass. The 10 hp in the gear drive 106 should do even better. Good luck, Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #13 Posted July 3, 2013 Nice machine. So, when its all fixed up and ready to go are we gonna see a little friendly pull off between a Cub and a Wheel Horse? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, I kinda doubt it Ken. Mark has already bought some paint for it, and is going to TSC this morning to buy a new seat. He's been polishing the chrome spokes on the steering wheel and lift/pto engagement levers. I can see the writing on the wall already............................................
