Well in my quest to find the rarest cubs I came across this pretty clean, local to me, 126. Has some bad PO mods including bad paint job, blinged out rims, wrong size tire and mismatched rims, crazy relocated automotive battery in the storage tray (which also had wooden spacers under seat frame, I'm assuming to not short out battery,ugh), and a craftsman seat cover. But........it was just bought from the original owner who had it since 69', looks to be garage kept for the most part, no rust except for some surface here and there. No options but did come with 48" deck. Deck isn't great because Florida sand really eats decks for lunch, even rugged IH ones after 40 plus years but that's to be expected. It was bought about 30 miles away in Plant City when new. I've removed the battery stuff, cables, freed up frozen choke cable and reinstalled, and took off a big homemade ball receiver. All the foot plate screws came right off, finally, a southern cub that comes apart like one, no torch needed, no PB blaster, I'm happy overall, really liking these gear drive cubs lately, the 12 horse combined with it is awesome. Here's a couple pics.
