Default My 126...
Here is my little 126 I picked up last year and have been working on for the last week or two. I have put on a new S/G, rewired the whole thing, one new turf the other was pretty good so I left it. She still needs some TLC but will be working hard this weekend. Alas she is sitting next to my husky making it jealous knowing that the cub is getting all the attention...lol. Love em both and wouldn't trade either for nothing. Oh and the coups de gras, I only paid $75 for the cub it spent 9 years in the woods behind the guys house..

Great rare cubs for very low prices (below scrap price!). I like the 126....still has the "old school" written all over it. My 126 is fun to ride and do work with in the snow. Here's to many years of service....

I am picking up a straight cultivator, spring cultivator, disc plow and rear lift later this week, I plan to work both these kids but the cub more. The weights on the husky were bought for the cub but I like the way it handles with them so I may buy another set, they're not IH but for $100 I dont think thats too bad. I'll have less than $600 in all the implements and weights..

Watch the rear lift that you purchase for your cub 126, although it is a narrow frame (NF), it requires a special bracket for the 3 point lift that many of the other NF's do not. That special bracket can drive up your cost a little more than you might have expected--they usually range from $10 (lucky find) to $45 (too much). Can't wait to see your other pics...

Yep, that very issue took my CL rear lift find from a good deal to just okay. I got it from a member here for $45, but at least I was also able to find a nice OEM center cap for the steering wheel, working IGN switch and brake safety switch. Everything more or less washed out in the end.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
