Default 149 coming to my house

I'm picking up a 149 tomorrow nite to "fill in" for the 1450 until I get the engine back together. She's very rough. Homemade exhaust stack, (owner says he has orginsal muffler). Seat pan but no seat cushion. S/G starts her but won't charge,(any ideas here?). I wanted a second tractor to help with the mowing and to mount the tiller on. I still want to add the 3rd hydraulic circuit to the rear of the 1450. Owner says he'll show me how to "jiggle" the wiring harness to get her started, (any ideas here?). Needs 2 new taillights.
Are there any quirks to the 149 I should now about? It was a toss up and
$100 difference between the 149, (1 hour away) or another 1450, (4 hrs away), so I saved the hundred bucks and went for the 149. Will be nice have the brothers. Maybe I should get a 147? No, attachments won't fit.
Thanks for any help with quirks!
