I'm glad to see that someone finally wrote what Cub Cadet 123 did. WHEW was that a long time coming! I would like to see that written in general form with no mention of model numbers, and incorporated into the tech section so that when this question is asked, we can point the "asker" to it and not have to go through this every time. Then we can simply reply, "X dollars in my area".
The only things I would like to add are, not all Cubs have lived equal lives, some of my best running Cubs, look like they have just had the livin dog poop run out of them, while some of the best looking Cubs that I own, ran like crap when I first got them. And that restorations are in the eye of the restorer. Meaning that you and I will probably NOT agree on what a complete restoration is. I recently saw an ad for a Cub somewhere that read, COMPLETELY restored Cub Cadet... then through the description there was mention that it needs this and that and another thing... COME ON MAN, IS IT COMPLETELY RESTORED OR NOT???
Many of the guys here will be the first to tell you that we have more money in these Cubs that we could ever hope to get out of them, it's just "what we enjoy doing".
The most relevant thing that Cub Cadet 123 said is "as long as your are pleased with your 126 and it helps meet your needs, then you made a great purchase for yourself." That really is what it's all about.
Good luck.
