To part or not to part - Cub Cadet 126
 
6 Attachment(s)
Well, the title pretty much answers the question. I drug this wayward 126 home the other night. It's missing a bunch of parts, but it was listed for cheap and I got it for cheaper, almost a Lew price. I have most of the missing stuff in inventory, and I bet I can find the rest at RPSD next week. But inventory is getting thin, due to the recent 129 and 122 that needed parts to bring them back to life. This 126 is going to live on and be turned back out into the working world as I just can't see myself parting out the 3rd rarest Cub when it's in good original condition. It will get a new wiring harness as most 1x6/7 series Cubs need one anyway, and this one is definitely hacked and fraying already. I think the K301 will be ok after a new head gasket and tuning; the clutch and trans seem intact although the tower has been welded where the pivot thingy for the clutch mounts up. No mower deck, but the mule drive is in good shape and has a pto belt for a 42" deck, which I have one in inventory to go on it. It would be nice if this Cub had lights or a creeper, but it's a 126 and the fact that it survived this long in limbo with the PO is reason enough for me to save it...

Tom, I think that you have answered your own question already, so I think you have a nice 126 there, which will be even nicer once you give it some TLC that is long overdue!

I wouldn't part it out Tom.

You done good to grab that 126! Looks to have all the major pieces that define it's model, make, and year. If it were me, I would move the less-desired 122 to the back burner and make something better with this 126 being of more value and collectability,...seriously, the 126 looks really good!

The 126 looks good Tom. Definitely a saver!

Nice 126, Tom! Hope you save it. :beerchug:
