Lewis The grill is the one in Dave's picture. From you I figured as much...... Harry Dave wasn't working so much as Mike and I where that night, not quite how that worked out but Dave was off looking for stuff and Mike was just on fire. If you had a whole 55 gallon drum of hardware I'm sure it'd be ...

I clean/sand blast all of the bolts/parts before they get dropped off at a plating shop in the Hartford area. As of mid-January I blasted all of the bolts I have saved from every parted, or restored tractor. It's a full time thing, as tractors come apart for something I save the old hardware. When a...

Harry that "Under the deck" Picture was 10,000 on the old forum, still saved that way on my computer. I had the dash tower until not long ago, still might be close by, I did a bunch of clean up last fall I think it might have just gone to scrap.... Also check out the "126 resto" thread more pictures...

Kevin I'm not sure what tires you mean the rears are 6-12 turfs from the 60's and are there till I'm ready to install the now 8.50's I got for it and the fronts are 4-8's off a old snow blower. The fronts work great for tuning in the snow, if I ever put a blade on a tractor with 3/4 spindles I'll us...

Harry The engine is sitting on the stand behind my truck. A bit hard to take pictures of.... It's a 13 fin fully re-built and ready to go in! The 126 will get done first, hopefully before spring but as I gather things I'm missing for the 126 I'm sure to get the correct one for the 169 as well. This ...

In for lunch, Just got the sleeve hitch installed. It looks like the Brinly spring assist will have to go in favor of leaving the Rear PTO installed!

Did someone say 169 roller? Harry This is Matt's handy work...

For those that don't know Matt is Harry son and my painter!

Ryan Get yourself a set of Bolens weights from the 60's they have the valve stem cut out and fit inside the rims used on most IH Cub Cadets. I have a couple sets, they work well and the best part is the IH ones will fit over them and will still look nice. Paint them white and you won't know they are...

To add, 69925C1 was used on my 169 that I'm restoring, I've found this gauge on very few other 1x8/9's not sure why they changed but they did. There are no other markings other then the P/N.
I never knew how hard it was to take this picture till now......

Jess
Not sure what you used for the new tube for the gear box but..... 1 and 1/4 EMT is a perfect fit! plus it can be found at most of our favorite stores for a good price if your planing on fixing 5 gear boxes!

Robert
That are coming down from the rock shaft is on the other side of the pivot point then most blades/blowers are mounted. This would reverse things thus pushing instead of pulling and vice-verse!

norm We need more info on your deck. You can measure outer blade to outer blade tip to tip this will give you the size of the deck. Are the brackets that hold the wheels on welded or bolted? If welded you have a 48" deck bolted could be 38 or 42. Those 2 yellow covers 1 hole each or 2? 1 hole is for...

Paul
your maps are to far south!!! Calling for 8 inches total between now and Saturday. Starting to come down now, 2 inches by the AM then, we got a lull till about 4 am Saturday then 6 more!

Rob It will bolt right onto all N/F models from your 70 to your 73. The 70/100's and the 1x2/3's will need the frame drilled for the mounting bolts, The location instructions can be found in the manuals section of this site. With a few modifications it will also go onto a Original, use the parts man...

Brendan
Those N/F sub-frames are always getting cut up to make wide frame ones. If it is still straight see if someone close by would swap you for a W/F one. If I where closer I've got a spare W/F one here, i'm sure shipping would kill the deal though....

Geezer, SAY IT AIN'T SO!!! I have enjoyed you being a part of my cub cadet experience for 1/3 of my life & more importantly ALL my cub cadet life. Go ahead & sell the truck & a couple tractors but don't let Ted out of your sight. You can still read the forum & check on us & I hope to still see you a...

When I built my house the building inspector required me to install an exchanger as he felt things where to tight. Even with the cold air blowing in the garage(furnace is in the garage) doesn't get below 45 on the coldest winter day. At first I was against it but 5 years later it sure give peice of ...

well I used the 122 manual posted in the documents section here and using what I know of where the fenders will go I located holes in the frame. They are about 1 inch further forward of where they where on the parts 126 the PTO came from and about 1 inch further forward of where the 122 frame wanted...

Josh
he we go installed not sure if my holes are right though.... see the thread on the 126 PTO!

Drilled the holes in the frame for the pto today !

Well The Christmas cookies are full swing for most of the weeeknd, starting tonight so, I got some Garage time tonight. To bad I can't spray and paint or such(asthma) or run the air compressor(vibrations). I bent up a new link, I thought I added 1 inch but I added 1 1/4 overall. My plan is to move t...

Josh
After up-loading I didn't like the looks and thought you might want more pictures. We all love pictures sooooo.....

Josh Same Part number as used on a 126, here is mine: DSCF2943 (Small).JPG I took the knob out of the baggie it came in for the picture, same part number as used on a larger tractor, not sure what one. If you look up the P/N and then use that number on Tisco, OEM tractor parts or some of the other a...

Mike
All of them had the cover, mine is not a true 59M in that it was made before 73 and was painted Makissic green, it has the cover. Many parts can still be had though Makissic although the mounting for the tractor part is not. You got a good start, find a cover and start chipping!

Paul I measured off my 147 and the 126 frame's It looks to me like the PTO kit was off of something else 124 or 122 maybe? I measured off the rear dash bolt and have found that the fenders hit at about 11+ inches hard to get a good read on the tape with the fenders in the way! With my linkage pushed...

Paul Todd The fenders are my concern, The frame the PTO came from was drilled using the hole for the hydro relief lever as the top of the 3 holes. In order for this to work the fenders where cut to allow moment of the shift lever, I am trying to keep my fenders in one piece. The item 26 is my other ...

Looking for install instructions for a 126 rear PTO kit. I have the parts but no the instructions on where to drill the frame to mount the handle. Any help or leads would be great! I would even buy a use orignal copy if someone knows any of the "paper" guys that go to the shows, I would give them a ...

Gezzer That is the only photo I've ever seen of one on anything other then a 147. They work Great and are super rare! The owner who let me transport/test this told me that they only made around 175 of them and that was for all brands of Garden tractors. They where bought locally and modified to fit ...

I'm a bit slow at getting these up but the 126 is painted! Everything but the fenders are done, still need to do a few bolts as I go and I'm sure some touch up post assembly.

After almost 5 years in the making the 126 saw some Dupont Imron paint today! I also threw in a set of fenders for the 169 it's been torn down for 5 years now too but the engine frame/rear all need more work before paint. More paint to be shot tomorrow and more Sunday for any fix ups that need to be...
