Default Mule Drive & Gear Box Installed

Been getting the 149 a little dirty since restoration. In preparation for the tiller I've refurbished the mule drive and rebuilt the gear box and got everything installed and working.

Belt installed

Great job!

Now you just need to restore the tiller.

I would install the lower sleeve hitch bracket. The instructions have the owner/user using it. Having the extra support helps to keep the holes from getting oversize/oval shape.
The rest looks good.

Thanks Merk,

I didn't even realize that could be done - thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to get that installed.

That is looking great. I wish mine was that far along. For using the other bracket with the gear box is it the narrow one or the standard wide one you can use in conjunction?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will also have to remove the drawbar, or at least i had to remove mine to get everything to fit.

I'm not sure about the bracket - I was going to ask Merk. I'm thinking it has to be wider. A picture would really help - anyone?

10-4 on the trailer hitch bracket - I assumed I'd have to remove it to install the tiller. Would be nice if you could leave it on thou.

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.
