Default 126 project

Ive recently aquired a 126! Not a nice one but good enough for me! Plan on a full restoration/refurbish for this one. Looking at a previous thread didnt know these were rare, so ill do my best to put it all back to original but anyway heres the pics! First pic is the tractor, i have the deck but not attached, and painted up in Caterpillar yellow and black paint with some art on the hood. Second pic is a cool metal Caterpillar logo that came with it! The last pic is a little hard to see but the key is original i think as it had a raised IH on it!

Thats the plan Adam!!

Alan and Duke thanks! Ill make sure to post lots of pics!

Now to business on getting it restored. I havnt got it to run yet, still tearing into it to find all the broken parts. Ive got to do some surgery on the hood and trans tunnel. The tunnel cover on the 126 at the creeper slot has been bent with something and i can see cuts where someone almost started to open it further with a grinder wheel . The hood holes where it bolts to the grille have completely broken away and the PO mod was done by taking different lenght flat stock with holes in it and drilled new holes in the hood to bolt it back on. So ill either need to find another hood or try to take the 102 parts tractor hood and make up the difference for the missing and mangled metal. Suprisingly the rear fenders are in great shape! Ive already decided on Firestone 23 degree rear tires and Firestone tri-ribs. Not sure what im going to do with the seat but i like it!

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.
