Default Cub Cadet 126

I picked up a 126 earlier this week. It needs a little TLC, but overall it's a good tractor. The PO used it as his primary mower for the past 6 years until the PTO belt broke. He decided it was time to upgrade and let this one go. The hood ornament will be the first thing to go...

When I got you into this hobby, I had no idea you would take off with it like I have. So glad to see you get another one!! Tractor is in very good shape, save the ugly Mack bulldog and painted grille screen, LOL. Hope I can come out soon and see it!!

Nice find. Looks to be in good shape too!

I suppose buying a new tractor instead of a PTO belt works for some lol

Congrats on a nice looking 126 (3rd rarest cubby)!! I think Jonathan is eyeballing that hood ornament for one of his cubs. I'd paint some teeth in that grill and name the cub either "Mack Daddy" or "Big Mack" or "Hot Dog".

Welcome to the 126 club! You have a really nice tractor in what I would consider great shape! Additionally you have headlights and tail lights- I'd love some taillights for mine.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I think a nickname would be good. I like all the suggestions. Now if only I could pick one

I had to order a new wiring harness for this guy. Seems all the insulation was gone from the wires and it's a wonder the thing even runs! I'm sure this is why the lights don't work as well. I ordered the harness from Mlamar off this site, and I should get that the first of next week. I'll have to pick up that pesky PTO belt the PO broke and used as grounds for selling the tractor. His loss, my gain, I suppose

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.
