[Carpetbagger]

I put my driveline on my 128 problem on the back burner until I can find some used parts. I'm down to hanging parts until my 128 yells, "Bingo". It might be a wrong or missing part or a bent shaft or a ragged clutch lever, but I can't afford each of my possibilities at almost a hundred a pop. Anyway, while I was out the other day, checking on some parts, I ran across a really raggedy old 126 with chains and weights and a snow blade with a blown engine (rod) and an exact match replacement engine. Long story short... it followed me home. Today I started tinkering and was amazed at how much heavier and overbuilt it is when compared to the 128. Everything seems a great deal more complex as well. I'm speaking of the wiring especially, but also the front end. That might be because its more torn up than the 128. I'd be interested in your thoughts. Carpetbagger
