The rims on the cub are off of a JD214? 23x10.50x12 and the Off-Set is different.Chains will not clear the inner fender wells.There is 1/4 of an inch between the inner fender and the tires with 12lbs of air in the tires.They did make the tractor extremely stable while mowing the hill.And I only paid $40 for the tires and rims.No rust,no holes and no dry rot.
The dash tower is slightly tweaked on the top,I thought the grill was but I had it off and even measured the gap between the grill and lower dash. I'm going to be using it and not showing it so it's good enough for me.
The dash decals are the original ones.I masked them off,painted the hood,wet sanded and clear coated the hood and over the decals.
I just noticed I forgot to put the aluminum window screen mesh behind my home made grill insert.
it's painted white as is the grill that I made out of Metal Lath.I think the Lath looks better than the stock grill would of any way.

The paint is on THICK.I rolled on 2 coats with a small roller.Then sanded and sprayed 2 more coats.I bought to much paint,thinner and hardener and that stuff doesn't keep well in my little in my little Oven of a workshop/shed.
1 Quart of white and 2 Quarts of that beautiful Safety Yellow.The paint is a very very close match and at the price of Cub Cadet Orange being $30-$34 a quart and $12-$15 for the Bombs I'll stick with the Valspar for $8.00 a Quart

when im done with the 124 i want it to look as show quality as possible, i will be buying new tires. those old tires are dried up. im sure the paint isnt going to be perfect, but im trying. i already went through the trouble of using body filler to attempt to get those fenders good and smooth. im certainly am not rushing this project. i have the 147 to mow with so i am in no hurry.
