Cub Cadet Registry

Here I got this one covered.

Cub Cadet 127 replaced the 125 in 08/1969 and ran till 08/1971. Serial #'s ranged from 30,7000 to 40,0000

Your serial number should be on a metal plate attached to the left side of rear on the difrential

25,485 units were built

I'm having a little trouble understanding the list on IH Registery . The number on the axle plate of this one is 2050038u395752 . It is a International Cub Cadet 127 Hydrostatic , at least that's what it says on the hood. The motor sticker says - Kohler 12 hp ( and someone wrote the 12 in with a marker ), spec number 4752244, and ser. number is 1808100731 . I have no idea if this is the original motor or not ,but it is an old Kohler engine. It mounts like a side shaft except the crank end of the motor faces the front ( hood grill ) of the mower and it has an electric clutch for the blades. The other side of the motor has a drive shaft comming out of the top shield cover ( flywheel ) that runs the back axel. It also has the starter / generator combo. While I don't know the throughness of the restoration as in internal work but the motor and rear axle work like new and it has a like new paint job ( recent anyway ) but there is some minor nicks in the paint. It comes with a grader blade and a big ( 52 " ? ) mower deck, which also appears to have been painted .There are three blades on it . What is this mower worth ? Is it a sought after model ? Thanks for all and any help .

This is where I got my info from too IH reg.

Just go back over there and ask. We don't bite.

The 127 number stands for 12 hp and the odd number 7 is hydro trans.

All IH built Cubs were identified as odd last numbers Hydros. and even were gear drives

someone may have changed out the rear end

Thanks , everyone . Yes, it has a hydro rear end in it.

Hello Whizkidkyus
Your model is a 127, this tractor was built between 08/1969 and 08/1971. As stated before, the 12 stands for 12HP and the 7 stands for hydrostat. This tractor is what is called a Narrow Frame. I would say in the condition of your tractor that the price is probably arround $400-600 and the grader blade is worth approx $150. Other options might increase the price such as a rear lift or Brinly adapter. These prices are also subjective on how the mechanics are. This is a desireable tractor, just like all of the actual IH Cubs are. These tractors were built to last, and last they do. I have two 100's and they are exceptional machines.
