Proud new Cub Cadet 149 owner
 

My brother bought a cabin in Minnesota a couple of years ago, it is a log cabin built in 1936. In the separate garage was a Cub Cadet 149 with a 50 inch mower deck that the previous owner used to mow the lawn. Also attached was a Trac-Vac model 460. The previous owner took a fair amount of notes including the original owers name and what he paid for it. I also have a 3 pack of blades for it and a few other random parts. Lucky for me, my brother had no interest in it and wanted it out of his garage. I just brought it home today and am happy to say they (Tractor motor and Trac Vac motor) are up and running.

I did have to remove the mower deck as it was 1/2" too wide for the trailer I hauled it with.

I have found a fair amount of information on it. (I can't believe that it is hydro-static!) Is there anything anyone else can tell me? What do you think it is worth? Have you ever used a Trac Vac? Is it worth anything? I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and don't have use for it.

Thanks all!

Nice find and tractor.

Welcome to OCC!

Real nice 149 and clean looking trac-vac ya got there! :beerchug:

Welcome to OCC! Good score on the 149!

If you have fall cleanup leaves to remove, a TracVac works great. I have a tow behind TracVac. I collect leaves and grass for a compost pile. Works great. When a stick gets sideways, the hose will clog. Be sure to shutdown the both engines before clearing the clog with your hand.
