New 128 owner in Lancaster Pa

[rMark]

Hi guys, (or gals)
I have been using this site for 2 months, reading and searching for answers to questions. I finally wanted to say hello my name is Mark and I bought a 128 (sort of). I recently bought a house on 2 acres and only had a walk behind mower. After pondering and searching the internet I decided I wanted an old tractor. Within 2 weeks marketplace had my 128 listed for 600 bucks and I bit. Beautiful specimen but not mow ready at all. Just it (wthout a muffler) and a snow plow. I just installed all the PTO parts and they work(thank god, i'm no mechanic, took lots of hours). I will have many questions for you seasoned veterans. Please be patient, I am new but hooked. I would like to eventually make this thing pristine and loaded with only IH parts. Thanks for reading, I will rack brains later. I'll post a picture when I learn how

Welcome Mark!
My first cub was/is a 128. Fix it up and it will look something like this.
It may look like some wrinkles on the side and hood, but it is just the sun shining through the trees.
