Default Three Speed Parts Question
I've got a 122 that is a donor for my 126 that I'm trying to get going.

I'm hanging onto a few parts off this tractor like S/G, clutch assy, drive shaft, but what about the tranny? Anything I should keep from it, like the shifter or axle tubes? Are there other wear items from this 122 I should keep?

Right now I'm not selling anything, just pouring over this tractor and asking myself, what spare parts would I be wise to keep.

Thanks!!!!!
Bill

I don't think I really understand what you're asking. Why not get both tractors running? Almost all the parts will interchange though the 122 has an internal brake and the 126 has external. the linkage up to the trans is the same though.

I can't keep them all LOL, Momma would have my hide! But really, the 122 (or what's left of it) is at best is a donor tractor. I've scavenged the engine and some other parts, but the 126 is my first gear drive and narrow frame tractor and I like to keep a few parts on the shelf as some back-up. At some point I will get rid of the 122 left overs, but I want to be sure I've got some wear parts off it that I might need on the 126 as I use it over the next few years.

Thanks!
Bill

Great advice! I have a complete transmission for parts between the two narrow frame gear drive garden tractors that I have. Better to have and not need than to need and not have!

Any IH stamped hardware I would keep, try to sell the sheet steel from the 122. Keep the front axel too!

I agree, I've seen everything from cracked frames and broken front axles to a broken steering sector and a stripped 3rd gear. So to tell you what to keep is a no brain er, if it's not eating or drinking anything I would keep it around for parts or possible resurrection at a latter date. Besides it's a good conversation starter with the neighbors when they ask "HEY, WHATS UNDER THE TARP" ?

You know, you're right... She really is a pretty great Gal.

Jumper, Sorry man... There never is any real trouble around here. We both just really enjoy having things sail along smoothly.

Or maybe she realizes that after I'm gone all this stuff will be for sale!?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
