I have a friend that has a Johnson loader on a IH Cub Cadet 169. The same tractor/loader has a Gannon Earthcavator on the rear.

the center pivot on the front axle would be the weak point, more so than the spindles.

The small fels for a GT are only rated to lift about 350-400 lbs so if a person uses it within those limits I dont see a problem putting one on a 126.....
The spindle bearings are the weak point. Keep the center pivot greases and you won't have problems.

Operators of garden/loader tractors need to use some common sense when using a loader on any size tractor.
