Default A couple ideas...

Well the 126 is just about to get pulled into the shop, to get dismantled and reworked. So a couple things I have been thinking about are possibly stretching the frame about 6 inches. I'm just not real sure where I should add the additional frame work. Another thing I am thinking on is putting a bigger spindle 4 lug hub setup out front with tandem wheels to give it that boss big tractor look. I expect to be in full swing on this rebuild come January. She's still working in the yard right now is the big reason it hasn't made into the shop yet. Any thoughts??

Sam I know it was posted a bit over a month ago, but that link appears to be dead. I am still searching for the parts, when disassembling the 126 I found one of the spindles had been welded just before it broke again. So now I have to do something.

My thoughts, since you asked-

the 126 is a great frame the way it came from the factory, and doesn't need to be worked on at all. I'd leave it.

I would do this but I really want to change the spindles to take 4 lug wheels. I plan to build a fel in the future and need the 1" spindles and heavier hubs to handle the load.

I agree. The 126 is one of the more rare cubs, when it comes to production model numbers, and I would leave it as original as possible. I would make that mod to a different production model number that wasn't as rare.

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.
