126 refresh

[aliston]

I have a 126 that my grandpa bought new. He has gotten to old now to do anything with it and has passed it down to me. My mission is to make this 126 look and mow the way it did the day he bought it. Having lots of questions I have found this site. And having loads of problems finding the right replacement parts. I have just began with the mower deck. I have a guy that rebuilds old cars fixing some bad metal on it and painting it back to new colors. Anyone know where I can find new pulleys?

EVERYTHING that you could want or need can be bought by clicking the Sponsor buttons at the top of the page.

BTW,

to the forum!

Welcome, Anthony! The 126 is one of the lower number of models produced (I forget the actual number). Having one that's been in your family since new is a great place to start!

The serial number on this tractor is 382840 so it should be 483B for the yellow paint, according to the paint chart. But there no paint codes for the B. Are both yellows the same? If not anyone know the paint code for PPG?

5. What colors should I use to paint my IH Cub Cadet?

 

[aliston]

Right. But it doesn't say a paint code for 483B yellow. Or is both yellows the same thing?

If I remember correctly, the only difference is that one had a rust inhibitor and one did not. They are the same shade of yellow.

Buy Case/IH or Cub Cadet paint and you won't have to worry about paint codes.
