Model 149 hydro question
 

I picked up a Cub Cadet model 149 about a month ago. Finally got around to changing out all the fluids and have a question regarding the hydro unit. I changed the fluid with hytran ultra and the correct filter. Overall for a 38 year old tractor everything in the diff looked to be in very good condition. The question I have is should the tractor slow down when I engage the pto for the mower deck? Also at full throttle the engine skips a little any idea what this is?

Thanks

How much does it slow down? does the engine bog down alot when you engage the pto? Could just need a lil carb adjustments.

Your Governor may need adjusting and or the springs may not be in the correct locations.

Here is the link for the Service Manual for your 149. Download it and go thru it. It will give instructions on trouble shooting and adjustments.
