OK, here's my new to me 126 you convinced me to buy..
 
Here is it as it sat close to the back road behind the corner of a house. As I drove by my eyes caught the flash of Cub Yellow.. I turned around to check it out. I liked it enough to leave a message on their door about it. Gave them my name and number. He called me and the rest is history. You guys said I should not pass it up even though I already have 14. This one was made in Jan. 1972 $150.

I went there this morning expecting a rough Cub not running.. Heck, he puts a battery in it and it fires right up! I don't know what he was talking about compression release problems over the phone. With it running it sure made loading a lot easier. The shifter has the usual broken lever where it will spin but that is no problem. A temp. fuel tank is installed. Don't know what happened to the original. Has the mule drive but no deck. I have plenty of decks. I am glad the mule drive is there... And what kind of wheel weights are these? Nice blade also. Looks like a new coil and condenser.

I hope my health problems improve like the doctors say it will, then I can look forward to just cleaning it up and doing what it takes to get running sweet. Not going to do much more than that.

Very nice 126, John! The wheel weights look like Bolens weights.

Good score.... I hang around a few Bolens forums but havent seen those weights, and they are not anything like mine which are oem cast on my '57 Ride a Matic.

Looks pretty darn good.
Must have been garage kept most of the time.

Even gooder price.
