Cub 126 Restoration Begins

[Kratt]

Sure thing...Nothing special, just valspar IH white and transportation yellow. Sprayed with an HVLP gun.

The only thing i didn't get done on this tractor was the dash tin, but I'm just out of time for this summer. I'll get to that in the spring...so technically I'm 99.999% complete.

Thanks for all the nice comments. The one piece I just could not find for this tractor is the lift handle. They seem to have gone the way of the dodo bird. If anyone happens to know where a guy could still get one of those I'd sure appreciate it.

Try the sponsors for the handle. Send me some info and a couple pics for POTW.

Love the front tires. I also have the narrows and like the way they look. Can you tell me more about them?

Thanks!

Yeah, hood wasn't great. Fender was rusted through on both footrests, so I kept looking and waiting until I found a really good fender that was straight...no dents, dings or rust.
Might as well cover it all here. The cubby got a new wire harness. Also replaced the entire driveshaft/clutch assembly with new.
New tires all around from Tucker Tire.
New bearing, seal and o-rings for the creeper.
Replaced second gear, had 2 broken teeth.
Replaced main shaft in rear, it was twisted. (I don't know how you accomplish that)
All seals/gaskets in rear end replaced.
New seat. Really wanted a 6 panel but couldn't find one.
New steering wheel cap.
New hood latches.
Added headlights.
I was able to find NOS hood/headlight panel decals. So much nicer than the replicas.
I think that's everything...??Cant remember for sure...LOL
