126/1211 Mower decks question
So I looked high and low for a post about this. I might have missed it so I apologize if this has been answered already,
I picked up a new to me 126 last week. It now runs and cuts pretty good. it has a 42" fabricated deck. My 1211H has a GT46 deck that I had just finished rebuilding. The 126 deck like I said cuts okay but I feel like it will not have the power or flow to shoot grass into a bagger. My GT46 deck works very very well with bagger and I already have the parts for bagger. So, you all may already know my question. Has anyone put a MTD deck like mine on a 126? Will it fit? I can weld and fabricate if need be but was hoping there would not be too much alteration needed to do this. The lift system looks very similar but I have not measured anything yet. Any help is appreciated Thanks

Im Okay with that!
Breaks out the torches and welder.... I guess the tape measure will be needed a little also.. Good rainy day to get started on it!

So, you have a 126 with a mower deck.... and a 1211 with a deck and a bagger. But you want to put the deck and bagger from the 1211 on the 126??
Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't it easier just to leave it alone and use it the way it already is?? |

Your 126 won't have the balls to pull a gt 46 high vacuum deck. I put one on my 1450, complete waste of time. Need 18 hp to pull it well. There is a lot to it. You would be better to find a 42"high vac deck from a 1440 and then mod the setup to your 126.
I love my baggers, but you need to match the hp to the deck. Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. Lots of jacking around to get it right, adjusted properly to find out the engine doesn't have enough snort. Similar, but you'd have more to deal with http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=46362

J-Mach, On the surface you might be correct. However I have plans for using the 1211 for other specific purposes other than cutting grass.

Whatever you want to do. I try to keep things simple. If it was an easy swap, I'd say go for it..... but as Trent pointed out, it isn't an easy swap. I personally hate baggers..... I also hate mowing with a gear drive. Especially if you have a lot to mow around, or a small area that requires a lot of maneuvering. Also, keep on mind a NF doesn't steer as tight as the 82 style tractors. |

My 1211 is a 12HP Magnum 12. Basically same as the K301A in my 126. On my 1211 the hydro begs for most of the power available, Hydros drives are less efficient than the gear box on my 126. I am failing to see your points in your response.

Hey, sorry for the typo there.
After looking at both units and doing some measuring, really not all that bad of a conversion. I will build a small "sub frame" to be fitted on top of the 46" deck. This will have hardware to make up the small span difference of the two different sub frames of units. The lift will still work the same way other than I might lose 1" "height of my subframe" from the top of my lift height. I never mow with it this high anyway and have no obstacles in yard that force me to raise deck to full height. If for some reason the 126 doesn't "have the balls" which it should since my 1211 12HP does. Its a simple change of pulley size to get desired power and torque ratio. Thanks for the help guys

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.
