Cub Cadet 1200 followed me home.

[1541]

On Monday, fresh off our trip to the Louisiana CubFest, I swung by the local hardware store to grab a few essentials. As I walked in, Jason was there, waiting for me with a proposition. He asked if I knew anyone who might be interested in the store's Cub Cadet—the trusty machine they'd been using to clear snow off the sidewalks during winter. Intrigued, I followed him downstairs to the shop to check it out.

He gave me the full rundown—what they wanted for it, what it came with, and all the details I needed to mull over. Of course, I told him I’d need to go home and run it by *the boss*. You know how these things go.

The boss gave the green light! She knew I’d been on the hunt for a nice Quiet Line for a while. It brought back some memories—back when my mom worked at the hardware store, the Quiet Line series had just come out. After school, I’d head over to help bring in all the equipment displayed on the sidewalks. The highlight? Getting to drive those beauties! I’d look forward to it every single time.

This morning, I felt like a kid again, reliving those memories. I drove the Cub Cadet out of the shop, down the alley… but instead of parking it back on the sidewalk like the old days, I took it straight home. What a ride!

Looks to be in real nice shape.

A good story! Looks like a keeper and should provide years of service. Probably not many hours on the mowing deck, either.

Most of IH's Quiet Line were hydrostatics, as most were sold with the hydrostatic transmission, 1250, 1450, 1650.....the two year only 800, the 1000, the two year only 1100, and of course, the 1200, were all gear drive, but they're harder to find nowadays, especially the 800 and 1100. All had Kohler engines on them, except the 1100, which was an economy model that had a Briggs on it.

Nice looking little tractor! I like the rear AG tires!
