Well I was finally able to pull the pics off of my phone. After resizing them to 480x480 for posting, they looked "squished".
I put an album of 600x480 pics of the Free 126 in an album here:

Enjoy!
I replaced the front tires and took her for a spin around the yard. The steering is tighter than Carls 107 that I just rebuilt the steering on! Everything is great except for one minor detail.
I almost found out the hard way that the brakes are non-existant. The linings are gone and the backing plates are dangling in midair. Even at 5mph, seeing the garage wall closing in and the brake pedal doing nothing will sure raise your heart rate.
I'm really liking this old gal and will be putting her to work soon at my new house. Now I just need to find a mower deck. Anyone within a reasonable distance of Cleveland have a 38" that they would part with?
I've since given the 126 and Carls 107 a good bath with the pressure washer. Definite improvement for both. I'll post pics as I can.
