A good day for me and the 149.
 

Up front, didn't have time to get any pictures....got too late.

But put a new S/G belt on the 149 today, and it wouldn't start. Took the plug out and it had fire when I turned the switch key on and when I turned it off, but not when cranking. So I took the points cover off and the hot lead was touching the cover. Fixed that and it ran...of sorts.

I didn't get the governor adjusted last week, and had a devil of a time getting it right. It would run and idle, but if I just touched the throttle it wanted to go out of control. Some heated discussions between me and the adjustment and finally I got it some what right. At least it ran pretty good.

So, I added almost 1/2 gallon of HyTran fluid and we went for a ride. These things will run. Just a good throttle up and the hydro in Run 8, we went for a ride. I probably put 5 miles or so on it, went to see a couple neighbors. One neighbor wanted one just as soon as he looked it over. So we may have another convert.

Pictures tomorrow if the wind isn't impossible. We are suppose to have another rip snorter windy day.

Also planted potatoes and onions. I'm tired but me and the Cub are happy.

Great to hear Dave!

Glad your cub is out of hibernation and giving you a wild ride!! I really enjoy my 149-they are a great tractor! Can't wait to see your pictures...

Good to hear you had a little seat time, I had my 149 out today and played with the blade a little.:beerchug:

That's awesome, Dave! Glad you enjoyed your seat time!

Now that is a great day.

I love my 149 too! I took mine for a ride around the block yesterday.
