Had a pretty good day with the 126. Replaced the points and condenser, did the timing/points gap setting with a timing light. Yesterday I had put a #26 carb on (with rebuild kit'and a good cleaning) and set it. I replaced a Walboro and it was nice to have a high speed adjustment.

Also retorqued the head, but found one of the head bolts missing. Probably going to go back and pull the head and replace the head gasket. Probably should check the valve adjustment too.

Next up is a fluid change on the engine and tranny, tubes for the front wheels and blades sharpened on the deck and the tractor is ready for another summers mowing.
