Hello everyone,
Just picked up a 127 like the one my grandfather had in the 70's. After reading the articles on this site I began the restoration. I took the deck off and have mostly finished it. just waiting for the weather to cooperate so I can finish the paint.

My tractor has a black motor, but every other one I see here have yellow motors. My question is did it come this way? The heat shield is the same black. (pictures are on my profile)

WELCOME!!!
Love to see some pics.. The engine would have been yellow. Could have been rebuilt or swapped at some point. What does the ID tag say on it?

Welcome. Replacement engines were black. Not saying it is, but I’ve got a couple that I know the history, and they were both black.

Welcome. First old cub I ever fixed up was a 127. Keep going you’re doing well. Ask plenty of questions and you’ll get plenty of answers. :biggrin2:
