126 Refurb
I just finished posting a separate thread on my 1650 refurb and figured I might as well start one on my 126 that I picked-up (see http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22273).
The 126 appears to be in overall good condition, but the engine has a broken rod and some galling on the crank. The engine needs a rebuild. In the mean time, I picked-up a 122 for a donor. At first, it was going to be a donor, then I had a line on another 12 hp rebuilt engine, but it sold before I got back to the seller - and my Wife/Boss reminded me that the reason we have another tractor in the yard was for a DONOR - not to add to the fleet, soooo, the 122 is once again a donor. I pulled the engine out of the 122 tonight and pulled the head. It looks great, some carbon on the head, cylinder head and piston, but nothing causing me concern. The engine is a black crate engine, not the original and I was hoping it would not be as worn-out as the rest of the 122. Looking down the cylinder bore, it is very clean with some cross-hatching still visible. This engine will get decarb'd, a new head gasket, a cast iron oil pan (present one is aluminum), pan gasket and a check (and removal if present) for balance gears. I need a grass screen for it and need to figure out how to get the drive plate off the flywheel too. I won't paint the engine right off the bat - want to get the engine in the 126 and run it to see what I've got before I go into crazy mode doing a restore vs a working tractor refurb. Other parts going to the 126 from the 122 is a rear 3 point hitch (I call them sleeve hitches) and a spring assist. I may also swap the front axle too as one of the steering arms attached to the spindle is fouled-up by the PO. I will keep other items from the 122 for spares too, like clutch parts, voltage regulator, etc. So the refurb on the 126 is underway - thanks in advance for your help!!! Bill

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.
