Hello Only Cub Cadets!
My name is Alan and I'm a Cub Cadet Fan.
Thanks in great part to some of the excellent info I've previewed on these forums, I am now the proud owner of two (mostly) working model 149 Cub Cadets. When the local dealership wanted to sell me a 16 horse garden tractor for $3500 +/-. a running 1973 model 149 with a good deck delivered to my home for $550 total was too good to pass up.
My first 149 has been mowing "meadow grass" at full deck height and plowing the drive for us for 5+ years. My Father-in-law plowed snow with it about 30 years ago.
Now the question is, at what point do I take one of these working machines and start restoration to make a "new old tractor"?
