Default Wallflower 149 resto

Hello all long time no post, but visit almost daily.

Before i get started i would like to thank the entire site for all the knowledge, hints, tips, tricks, and support. I would have been lost with out the guidance. I would also like to thank the sponsors, whom with out i would still be tracking down parts.

To keep things short, my motor blew its front main seal, keeping the grass down at the family farm. With plenty of other tractors in reserve I made the decision that it was time to do what i could to make this tractor last as long as possible.

The long and short of it. Took it 80%~ apart all parts were base coat and at least 2 coats of clear. Fixed and replaced every thing i could afford. Motor is a 10+ rebuild, carb rebuilt, new wiring harness, new decals, and many other things i might care to forget about. It has been a trial and great learning experience.

Once again i cant express my appreciation and admiration for all the help i received from Only cub cadets members and sponsors. And now the goodies. (sorry for some blurry camera phone shots)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
