The first cub I owned was a 127. Wish I'd kept it. Bought it for $300.... traded it for my 1811, but he gave me $500 for the trade. I liked it, but had grown up on a 782 and couldn't ever get used to that left hand hydro. Overall, really good machine. Like I said, wish I'd kept mine!

That's funny; I grew up on a left hand hydro (125). Dad got a 782 and it was like trying to learn how to drive all over again, especially with the Z pattern.

You can pack it up an ship it to me in SC because I am a big time fan of the 126...

You better keep it! Your attachments arn't going to interchange with a wide frame 149.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the qa42a snow thrower fit both wide and narrow frames....and wouldn't the tiller just require a wide frame lift to work on the 149?

Wide frame snow plow brackets are different than narrow ones so I'd guess the same for the blower. Besides. How many excuses do you need to keep the 126? I'm only trying to help! Keep the Tractor! Thank me later.

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.
