found a 126 in my backyard today
so really it was 20 miles away but compared to 6 1/2 hours it feels like my backyard. has a neat story behind it also.
so its a 126 that runs and drives but wont shift into first or reverse.(hints on repair would be appreciated as im new to gear drives). came with a 42"deck and 42 inch push blade. blade has seen its better days. also came with an original set of wheel weights and bolts. so heres the story of the tractor. the farm has a very old two story chicken barn. when the barn was purchased/built, part of the package included a cub cadet for cleaning the barn since the upstairs was not large enough for a big tractor they used the push blades to clean them out. the cub was delivered to the farm in the shipping crate and was removed from the shipping crate by the farmer. i have two copies of the unpacking instructions left for the farmer to read. tractor was taken out regular service about 20 years ago and just left the farm for the first time this morning. the only thing i find weird is that the unpacking instructions do not mention a 126 and the attachments are for a non quick attach tractor. so i wonder if it was replaced a some point. so anyway i though i should share since i know having a story makes the tractor a little more interesting to collectors such as myself, and thought you might all appreciate it as well. im not sure what im going to do with it yet so if anyone wants a 126 to restore with a one owner history let me know it hasn't grown roots with me yet i just want it to have a good home.

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.
