is it a 126? cant tell if it has creeper, its worth the trip i would say

update
 

5 hour trip one way

I would buy that IH Cub Cadet in a hurry! Looks to have creeper and hydro lift, IH mower deck, IH wheel weights,.......................................... ......................I don't see how you could go wrong, now go get it A.S.A.P !!!

:biggrin2:

It's hard to tell what it is or has for sure (creeper) by the pic, do you have any more? It's not unreasonable to ask for more for that long of a trip. If all is good, get it get it get it!!

No other info
 

I had just seen the post one pic and the link. if you see the link only phone #

just called
 

126 is a yes.

Second on the list.

There is a creeper but only works in low range??? otherwise all else is good. engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago. has rear lift but only the plow left and said the he would put in.

I wouldn't drive that far for one. But they are easier to come by where I am......

creeper low only
 

can any one add to that????

as far as the creeperr goes, its the spirol pin or a worn shift fork, i would buy it

a 126 is the 3rd rarest IH cub cadet made i believe

OH! It's a 126! I missed that! ...... Maybe I would drive.....

Nick is probably right. Good chance it has a broken spirol pin.

What's 5 hours, 10 total, a "I'm getting something" road trip? :bigeyes: For a running, operational IH Cub Cadet 126 with IH wheel weights, hydro lift, creeper, and questionable 3-point, .........Hey, C-ya later I'd be on that like white on rice.

No wonder he is in second place. If your not first , your last J-Mech!:biggrin2:

Looks like a lot of $ in parts alone. I would make the drive just because it's fun to do. Plus NF Hydraulic lifts are cool.

If the wifey is involved, it could mean a nice overnight trip or mini-get away!! You could always advertize for someone with a tractor/trailer who will be dead headed to pick it up for you and drop it off near you. Lots of possibilities....all with the same end result. In my truck, pulling a trailer, I average about 15 mpg. At 60 mph, that's 4 gal/hr and at about $4/gal, that is $16/hr.....so for a 5 hr trip, that's about $80. Would you pay $380-$400 for the deal?

Cub Cadet 123

UpDate on the 126
 

12.5 hours and 1006.0 KM later. No wifey was not along. I would turn into a looong weekend then :biggrin2:Looks like it was build in 69 #318108 I know the pic are coming. The old girl made it.

PU
 

math not wright. but i bought it for dirt.

Back to topic. 126
 

I ran it, and in high range it would jump out and grind. I see that the PO tried to extend the stroke of the level but that did not help. Any input would be a great help.

thanks

That's the spirit! Excellent score... looks like a really nice tractor!

Congrats on the 126!:beerchug:

Glad you got the 126!

All I can suggest is that you have a look in the creeper manual. I don't have the proper manual/part number {name of} in front of me. Once the creeper is repaired, I would then weld back the extended portion of the shift lever slot.

Glad you got the IH Cub Cadet 126! What other plans do you have for it? If it were mine, a paint job is in order. Original colors! :biggrin2:

just curious, what is so special about a 126? or is it just the creeper setup, and hydraulic stuff on it? I know where one is local for sale, but doesn't have the extras.

Creeper
 

When I had it for a drive low works as it should. In 1:1, will work if you hold in and not too much load otherwise it pops out. So hopefully it the shifter fingers and not the gear and slide for 1:1 :bash2: or the slide got put in backwards :bigthink:

Found the headlight switch and lights that are there work. No tail lights any replacements out there:bigthink:

Thanks for all the great comments :beerchug:

Reread sum of my post :bash:myself A little punchy after the long day.:BangPC:

Resto in order
 

A resto is in order but it will go down the list :Boohoo: 782 PS upgrade
:biggrin2: I have most of the parts, just need the valve support bracket. (Extreme cub parts looks like the only source) 1200 to get back together. waiting on parts :bigeyes:

Third rarest production cub made and options make it even better.

LOL! Ya know I made that comment, and found 2 within a couple hours of me!

Glad you got the 126!

I believe that quote was Ricky Bobby's dad telling Ricky about racing the '69 Chevelle! lol! Glad this Topic 126 found a good home, too! :biggrin2:

I'd make the drive!

on the creeper drive repair the shift fork for the creeper and the handle prolly are both worn so it has some play in both had a few like that here

A little update
 

pulled the bastard hich and replace with the correct one. found a couple longer tethered bolts and walo. Next to put on the resto list.:biggrin2:

It looks good with all the options but the custom paint job is funky.
