Restored 149
Hey Guys. Just finished up restoring a 149. Picked it up on June 30 at an auction in Coal Valley IL. My cousin and I spent the summer bringing it back to life. Here is the finished product. Just wondered what you think. It was our first attempt at a restoration.

I think you did an excellent job! Get yourself a center piece for the steering wheel and it'll make it that much better.

I actually have the decal for the steering wheel, i just haven't figured out exactly how to put it on yet. I'm afraid the v-shaped opening where the steering wheel nut is might show through, or at least make the center of the decal weak. Got any suggestions on how to give it a more solid backing?

I'm missing the metal backing for the steering wheel center too. From the factory there was a light guage metal piece the sticker was adhered too and then a small screw went thru the metal and into a hole in the steering wheel plastic. If you look you should see it. I am going to just go to the hardware store and buy a piece of metal and make one.
The 149 looks great. My 128 is almost finished up too. center.jpg

Your 149
That is a fantastic 149. I wish mine looked that good. It's a working 149, so it won't get to that state. I may repaint it this fall, I put about another hour or more on it today pulling some tree "parts" out of the woods into my yard to cut them up. It's amazing what it will pull. I use a nylon tow strap so I don't have the chain or cable yanking and jerking. Seems like it's a little easier on one with the the strap.
Always nice to see what others are doing with this good old reliable machines. Dave in SW Missouri

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.
