Put the 149 up on the lift today to do a good check out. If I was smart I’d part it out but I’m not all that smart. Here is what I have found so far. PTO is toast, broken and missing bolts that hold the rear end in place (and you guys thought it was only the aluminum rears the had this problem) choke and throttle cables are frozen and need to be replaced, drive shaft is a mess, gotta love the grade 5 bolt (I have a plan for this) axle seals are leaking (BTDT) Oh yeah 2 of the 4 bolts that hold the engine in are missing. Not sure about it charging, wiring looks like poop, brake pads are shot, the seat is trash. Hydro lever is loose and I can’t get it off the shaft. Let’s not even talk about cosmetics. I’m out of my mind but I’m gonna patch this turd up enough that it will run the tiller.
