Would anyone know what mower decks will work under my 126 Cadet?
I'm not worried about looking original just want a deck I can mow with.
My 126 is a freebie and I don't want to put a lot of money in it. It runs great and pulls great but the deck is sooo rusted out. Will the new style decks work with it? The hangers and all look the same.
Can anyone tell me about the triple rib tires? I know they are just what I need for the work I'm doing with my tractor. Do I need to run the narrow rims with them or will they work with the wide rims for my turf tires.

I think the 4.00 X 8 Tri-Ribs work, and look, better on the narrow rims that they were made for. M.E. Miller Tire now has Tri-ribs for the wider rims, but they are a bit pricey.
For the deck, most of the new decks will not work with the narrow frame tractors (like your 126), but a Cub Cadet dealer should have a copy of the Attachment Guide (there are a couple different versions) that will tell what deck will fit what models and what is needed to adapt then to earlier tractors.

Well here's an option HH. If you are handy... you can rebuild your deck. Weld in some patchs.. tastefully i'll add and you can still find parts to rebuilt the 3 mandrels/spindles. I've seen it done before and those decks are rather robust and survivable. Mine even lacks the baffle. Once it came out i never bothered to put it back in(90 bucks) and it still mows great. My advice is if you can't find a new deck, try to rebuild it. You can get evey part to rebuild a spindle to my knowledge. Or... find another rusted out deck, buy it cheap, patch your deck, and switch the parts.
Generally speaking any old lawnmower graveyard has those decks in abundance. Good hunting and good luck.

To add to what Ritter said, the replacement baffles from IH are a bit pricey. I have a friend of mine that simply went and bought some flat stock, fabricated and formed his own baffle, made the brackets, all for less than $10.00. The baffle he made was bigger, better, and heavier gauge...and it worked out GREAT.
I agree...the IH Decks are very much rebuildable. I am doing two of them myself, a 42 & 48.
