Starting in about 1972, I put about 10 hours a week on one of these. I think its still hanging around somewhere.

What did you get?
I went to the local tractor/Deere dealer to spec one out. He had a mint condition used 345 on consignment from an estate for a huge savings. Done.
Congrats dude, great tractor.
Change all the fluids to Rotella T and enjoy (We actually use Rotella T as the bench mark for all our oil tests, we can't seem to beat it.)

Since this subject was fresh, I thought I'd get feedback on my new purchase. I just picked up a 1973/4 (I'm not sure yet) Cub Cadet (by International Harvester) 128. It's got the 12 Hp Kohler engine, came with the normal 3 blade cutting deck, Hyrdostatic tranny, etc. There's only light, light surface rust on a few places, and it seems to run, cut and steer great! I got it for $750 delivered, which was part of my negotiation because I don't have a way to move this tractor myself.
It's replacing a 1987 Bolens with that POS Techumseh transaxle which keeps splitting the case on me. I figure if I ever have a manage to break the transmission on the Cub, I won't know about it because I'll probably die in whatever accident causes it...

I rebuilt a 1976 for my grand daddy. The only reason we still don't have it is he didn't want to pay for the parts to rebuild the deck.
Awesome tractor

In reply to racinginc215:
A Ferris Wheeler?
Apologies. I couldn't help it.
