I worked on fixing up the mower deck for my 126. It's a 42" cast iron end deck that came off of my 100. After 46 years off use and abuse it needed a little work. It had a bow to it and it was cracked around the rear hanger brackets. It also has a couple rust holes along the back edge. I got it straightened and made a couple patches to fill in where I cut out around the rear hangers and got them tack welded in. Next up is repairing the rust holes and making new baffles since they're long gone. A while back I made a new spindle and picked up a new pulley for the left side since they were worn out. The other 2 spindles are in pretty good shape. I may try to rig up an anti scalp wheel for the front of the deck.
