My local L&G is smart enough to smile, keep his mouth shut and take my money.... All I have to do is give him enough information to find what I need. Remember, if you're not dealing with a CCC dealer, they're having to chase through cross references that in many cases won't list something as old as what we're working with. I spent (misspent) enough time, when I was a kid, behind a parts counter to know what a PITA it can be..
Paul:I wasn't being smart***ed, I had the numbers. The lady that owns the place acts really annoyed when you want Cub engine parts. As Matt said, She would rather I buy a new stamped tin toy than repair and maintain my old American iron
MYRON B. - Thanks for the Kohler # for that grommet. I'll have to try out the new power equip. shop in town and see if they have a couple.
Good idea also on using the impact driver on the carb main jet. I've used them with good success on difficut screws too. But when I bought Mine I couldn't find a 3/8" drive, just a 1/2" drive and when I put the 1/2" to 3/8" adapter on it, the turning effort is really reduced. Someday I'll have to get a 3/8".
KENDELL - Company I used to work for also owned Delta & Porter-Cable tool co. I bought three different sizes of their nail guns, Brad, Finish, & Framing nailers with matching compact compressors. I don't think I've driven fifty nails in the last 8-9 years since I got the nailers.
CHARLES H. - The only mower blades that interchange between a 38" and 42" deck is the center one, the outer blades on the 38" decks are shorter than the 42" outer blades.
DAVE ROSS - Those screw holding screwdrivere are still available and rather cheap, I bought both a slotted screw and Phillips head version about 15 yrs ago, Seems like I got them at Sears. Craftsman also made a screw holding screwdriver with two little fingers that supposedly holds the screw to the tip, Don't waste Your $$$$ on them, it doesn't work and gets in the way of normal use 90% of the time.
PAUL DOROW - Problem with tool stores on wheels is they're never around when You need them. Granted their tools are better quality than anything Sears or your local hardware store sell. Plus professional mechanics I know tell Me the mark-up on their tools is absolute robbery until You get into the 50% discount range. And I know all about the costs the salesmen have to cover for operating the truck, inventory, warranty, credit sales to repair tech's, etc.
I won't suggest anyone buy tools at the import discount houses like Harbor Frght. I watch what brand I buy, most of my sockets are Craftsman, but I do have a set of Wright sockets I bought almost 40 yrs ago that still gets used a lot, Allen is also good and I've bought them sometimes when I need a tool for a special infrequent job.

Actually, It shouldn't matter what the tractor model is, because I believe the Cub I have came from the factory with a Briggs. But for some reason, they always ask... I am looking for another shop to deal with, there are three close to me, and none of them stock parts..Any suggestions for the Titusville FL area?
Ronald, what information are you looking for on the 126? BTW, ANY <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> Cub Cadet is worth restoring.
Clint, the weight depends on what optional equipment the 70 has, such as lights, fenders, rear lift hitch, hydraulic lift, rear PTO. Here's some info for starters, 551 lbs, with electric starting but WITHOUT any of the optional stuff I mentioned. This weight might include packaging (basically a wooden pallet and cardboard covering) but not oil or gasoline.
Then there's this:
Just in case, 710 - 175 = 535. (This weight includes oil and gasoline)

Dfrisk--
Yes I know all about overhead etc.involved in mobile tool sales, I sold Snap~On out of a P60 Van from 1987-94. To keep this on topic-- kept a couple of roller cabs and tools to work on the 1250, SK makes good crome for the money.

Tim, you mean this?
Ronald, a 126 used external brakes and the 122 used an internal brake. The gears inside the actual transmission would be the same though. IMO, it would be a MAJOR pain to convert a gear drive to a hydro, not impossible but not really practical.
Here is what i think is my problem with the 124. The gear that this gear slides into also has some teeth missing. 3rd. gear don't work now with creeper in or out. So is it easier to exchange the transmision or repair this one?
Luther
I told you your problem was the creeper because you said it jumped out of gear in low range but that everything worked like it was suppose to in high range, obviously that was not the case. Unless you can find someone that already has the gears out, you will have to tear down two transmissions to fix it (your's and the parts donor), so it may be easier to swap the whole transmission, but you will loose the serial number of your tractor by doing that if that is a concern to you.

Is it just me, or does Luther's top shaft look twisted where it enters the case at the top of the picture?
