Starting Problems
 
I'm going to guess I've a worn out starter generator.

I just moved everything over from my 128 to my 149. Motor always did turn slow and stop and i would have to get off of it while holding the key and take my foot and get the starter to go again. Would systems of a worn out starter generator be this.

Also have cleaned all connections and so forth when i rewired it.

Having gone through S/G's on two tractors in the last year, I suggest that you take the S/G to a generator shop and have them repair it. You might pay as much as an new fleabay generator, but you will have the original generator back on the tractor. I bought a new generator from a shop in Logan, WV (fleabay). Very nice and worked fine. $125. delivered. I took my old S/G to a shop about 40 mikes away and had them rebuild it. $117.00 plus gas (it needed everything except field coiis). Both work fine. You might get by with a repair kit, but why mess with it? Usually, S/G's that are 35 or 40 years old need more stuff than just bearings and brushes.

Good luck!

I am going to take it to a shop, I don't want a junk reman. I'm just trying to get this old cub to be as reliable as it once was.

Thats the way to do it! Strive to make it as good (if not better) as new and keep your machine as reliable as it built to be! As far back as I can remember these tractors were never equipped with a "Kick Starter". :biggrin2:
