Re: 1650 Muffler
IH abandoned the "long pipe" muffler exit during the mid-model refresh of the QL. Said refresh included auto-release hydro valves, 82-Series style steering wheel, the larger front wheel bearings, and a switch from the cast iron front grille support and axle housings to an aluminium alloy. IH discove...

Re: Super LT 1554
I think sticking valves may be the least of your problems if you look at that home-rigged air cleaner.
Not sure it even cleans the incoming air. Looks like a pie tin where a proper housing and paper element should be.

Re: 129 overheating
Could very well be the dreaded K-Series exhaust valve sticking situation, if what you describe is 10 minutes under load. Some have good results with additives, others pull the valve and clean the stem to sort out the problem.

Re: spark plugs??
Anyway, the larger the plug gap will have more energy in the spark. Obviously if the gap is too large the ignition system will not make enough voltage to jump the gap. So the largest gap that will always fire is what you want.. The larger gap doesn't increase spark energy. It increases the accessib...

Re: Boiling Oil ?
You could have very well seen water boiling out of the oil. Think deep-frying. Any oil over 212 F (100 C) will boil out the water diluting it. Relates to city driving and engines never fully warming up versus steady load turnpike cruising getting the oil up to a good operating temperature and evapor...

Re: Cub Cadet Hydro Fluid
An additive binds with the water in the oil and precipitates it out of the solution. It sinks to the bottom of the cavity/rear housing as it becomes more dense than the oil and it is there until you wipe it away during a fluid change. The risk is the gelatinous precipitate collecting on the paper fi...

Re: Nice day for cub pictures
They 18" versions don't have the same leakage problems as the metric size equivalent to 16x6.50-8 tires. Something about the way the bead seals against the rim- Perhaps the green machines may have more sealing issues.

4005 169s and 5247 126s were built. The 106 outsold it more than 3:1 at 16635 units produced.

Re: Look what followed me home...
I'd say that's not in bad shape at all.
Take a look at some of the items folks haul home and your 126 is seriously not that bad off!
The 126 is actually somewhat rare. A little over 5000 were built. The 106 was much more popular with its lower price point.
Good find!

All my dealer pamphlets from the late 70s and early 80s through CCC's first in 1982 don't show the deck, but as you mention, include the blade.

Re: SGT questions
Unless there's some history I'm not aware of, the 982 entered the market in 1979, with a 50A deck. The 60" Haban arrived much later under CCC, circa 1987. The JD 400 was released in 1975 with a 60" shaft driven belly mower. It took over 5 years for IHC to respond with the 982, and far longer for the...
