Today was nice, so I got the 126 off and ran it around some. The Kohler runs better than I hoped. Smooth as it gets from an engine that's sat so long.

PO told me when I bought it that he wouldn't expect it to be able to mow again without some work, but I tried it and the mower functioned great. New blades are needed but it cut the little grass we have growing so far nicely.

It's a lot different to drive than my 1811. Two turn steering is nice without hydrostat around obstacles. I love the manual tranny. The engine has great power, it was rebuilt in the 90s, and hasn't seen many hours since. Takes right off in 3rd at 1/3 throttle, hums along at full throttle, and only misses a little at idle.

I gotta say though, it has more slop in the steering than any tractor I use except for my 1863. Overall a steal for $250, and the more I play with it the more I like it. Spring assist is awesome.

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.
