Default IH Cub cadet 149 Lights

I worked on the electrical system this weekend. Using the wiring diagram in the service manual, I was able to replicate a headlight harness using 14 gauge copper wire and a variety of butt connectors.

Upon further inspection, I found a blown 20 amp fuse under the dash, so I changed it. With the new fuse in place, the wiring harness worked. I now have functional headlights!

I then disconnected the battery, and wired and installed a new set of rear lights.

A turn of the light switch illunimates both front and rear lamps.

With 14GA wire...you should NOT exceed 15 Amps in Fusing.

Thanks for the tip about the fuse. I will chage it out tonight.

The PO had removed the headlights and wiring harness, it is also missing the pto clutch and some related parts. But i got the tractor for $175. The engine runs good. It has been bored .20 over, and I have no idea how many hours are on the rebuild. The cylider, piston, and valves look good, after carbon removal, and the valve seats are clean--So I am going to leave it alone for now.

Note: I have another 149 with a 42" mower deck, but with no rear lift.

This is my "Winter Tractor", but I do plan to disassemble and repaint it this Spring/Summer.

We have not had a heavy snow in central Ohio since January so i wait....

Tail lights are used for night time identification......especially in the winter months if you are plowing snow since it turns dark later and sometimes you are on the roadway to get the job done. Better to err on the side of safety!!!

I may have not made myself very clear (i have tendencies to do that) i was meaning, why were they ever put on a GT, it's not street legal, nor are they brake lights or flashers. but CC 123 answered my question (thanks). with me being from the south, the BACKWOODS south, I don't get much snow to warrant the blower or the blade (but i will have one for the "coolness" factor) and if we got out on the street with the CC's, it wouldn't be to long till the police chief would come patrolling by and give me an escort. i live in a small 3 (old) cub town and i own 'em all!!! thanks guys!!! jeff

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.
