Said I wouldn't get any more
 

But we know how that works out. Got a 126 today. PO says he thinks it's a 1971, will check and post pics when I take it home.

The tractor looks kinda crappy, but it's a one family machine that lived inside forever, and it's in good shape to be used and worked on one piece at a time. No options except for spring assist, complete sleeve hitch setup, and wheel weights.
I'm already thinking of just taking the deck off and using the tractor to pull my new to me blue and yellow Parker sweeper.

Good optioned rare bird. Let’s see some pics!

Yeah,.. what he said...:popcorn:

I love my 126! Don't think I would ever part with it.. Nice find. And what the others guys said.. Pics!

Nice score on your 126!

Pics? I have to pick it up first and dust it off! :biggrin2:

I'll put some up of my new to me Parker tomorrow and hopefully somebody can tell me more about it than what I know (nothing!)

I'm already thinking about the blue and yellow sweeper behind the white and yellow Cub, it should be pretty.

The 126 is a truly great machine! Mine was in service at a school and still is reliable as any of my cubs. It will be a great mowing machine and with a blade, it will be a force to be reckoned with! Congratulations on your newest acquisition (once you land it)!! Hard to say that you "won't get any more" when the rare ones come along....

Cub Cadet 123

I remember saying "this is the last one!" 4 or 5 times at least!

Looking forward to your pix!:beerchug:

I swear they're coming... Have yet to bring it to my house.

Finally picked the 126 up today, and it really does run good. It seems like I'm going to need to do a brake job immediately and maybe clutch soon. It's been pouring all day, won't post any pics until I can get it clean and dry.

Congrats on your 126! Good garden tractor right there!

Today was nice, so I got the 126 off and ran it around some. The Kohler runs better than I hoped. Smooth as it gets from an engine that's sat so long.

PO told me when I bought it that he wouldn't expect it to be able to mow again without some work, but I tried it and the mower functioned great. New blades are needed but it cut the little grass we have growing so far nicely.

It's a lot different to drive than my 1811. Two turn steering is nice without hydrostat around obstacles. I love the manual tranny. The engine has great power, it was rebuilt in the 90s, and hasn't seen many hours since. Takes right off in 3rd at 1/3 throttle, hums along at full throttle, and only misses a little at idle.

I gotta say though, it has more slop in the steering than any tractor I use except for my 1863. Overall a steal for $250, and the more I play with it the more I like it. Spring assist is awesome.

Nice tractor, I see it has some goodies, are you repairing the hole?

I intend to, not sure what route to go yet to cover it.

Very nice 126!
