"I actually got this tractor for free from a neighbor and we rebuilt it. It's a great workhorse. Now I want to add some improvements. You don't find simple, yet quality tractors like the early models of IH and Cub Cadet. It's a real gem!"

"Purchased this used, in very good original running condition, with a 42" deck and snow blower. I did an engine service and have used it about 5 hours for odd jobs around my property. Tractor runs great and is built like a tank. I'll continue to clean it up and replace the rear reflectors. Looking for a headlight kit as well. The hydro works great and the tractor is pretty fast. The 123 is the first hydro trans tractor. I don't plan a full restoration...yet. But will probably leave it as a good original. Parts are easy to get. I bent my key and got a new one at the dealer, no problem."
