Default Something pulled out of the brush

So, I happen to pull cubs out of the junk pile. I would prefer to pull them out before they end in the pile and this is one case I would. I haven't got them home yet but their essentially mine. These have been sitting for at least 10-15 years so I dunno how easy anythings gonna crank over. But I got a 108, 126, 149 minus the front axle, 1550 parts unit, and 1650. We tried to pull them out today but it was too muddy to drag the 149, 1550,and 1650 out. I did get some pics of the 108 and 126. Also does anyone know what the hole in the grill of the 126 do?

For me, the 126 would be the keeper as it's the 3rd rarest Cub of them all with a production run of only 5,247 built.
At least it looks to be more or less in one piece which is more than I could say for mine which was just a pile of parts when found.
You surely have your work cut out for you!
Good luck and enjoy!!

You can do this!!

Good score! The hole in the 126 grill is a PO mod, that should not be there. Who only knows what it was done for. Since it has a different exhaust on it and it is up too high for the PTO, I would say that the PO experimented with a custom exhaust pipe out the front of the cub. Who knows, it might have been a concept cub for the early Quietlines (QL), experimenting on the exhaust out the front.

I'm glad to hear that more cubs are being saved from the brush from your valiant efforts!

Wanna correct something real quick, it was two 1650, not a 1450 and 1650, and I believe the whole in the front of the 126 is a previous owner modification.

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.
