More goings-on with the 126 today.
Found some screws to fasten the air filter face plate to the carb and finish off the air filter assembly install. Also finished bolting on the remainder of grill to frame bolts and installed the hood. Put a new mule drive belt on and attached the deck, took a bit of time mowing some very thick, tall grass. The only problem I had is the throttle wants to go down from full RPMs. Any ideas on how to tighten-up the throttle cable? Thanks! Bill

OK - the 126 is officially in service. I tightened up the throttle pivot and took the tractor to my Dad's camp where it will have mowing duties this summer.
I'm going to run it hard and see what I've got and from there decide what to do with the tractor. i.e. leave it like it is, do a full restore over the winter, etc. One thing I am going to do is pull the 3 point hitch off my 122 and put on this tractor. That will come this winter. Thanks! Bill

Been a while since I've posted an update on this tractor. I mowed most of the Summer with it and here are some observations:
48 inch deck give a pretty good cut. For whatever reason, I have gleaned from reading posts that the 44 and 50 inch decks do a better job. I've got a 44A deck on a 109, but IMHO, this 48 inch deck lays down a good cut. Spindles are noisy - that will be a winter project. After a few weeks of use, the tractor would run and after an hour of hard use, would falter and stall. Finally it wouldn't start after cooling off at all. Checked the spark and didn't have any - so I replaced the condenser and got fire now. Fuel bowl was full of crud. Cleaned it out and re-installed, but he rubber gasket/o-ring is hard and will need to replace as the fuel bowl leaks - won't run it this way. Wondering if I can replace the fuel bowl assy with a threaded hose nipple and just use an external fuel filter? 2nd gear mowing is FAST! Almost to fast. The tractor mows great at this speed (3.9 MPH), but the ride is very bumpy on this camp property and between my aching back and the danger of trimming obstacles, I don't think this is the gear for me and 1st is to slow. I've got two options, upgrade to a 128 (3.5 MPH) or a 582 (3.3 MPH) to slow things down. 1st gear is to slow. I've got a front blade from a 122 - need to figure out if I can mount it to this tractor. Other than that - very nice tractor.

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.
