Hot Rod Cub
New here. Just traded for a non-running Cub 149. Got it running with minimal trouble and I find out that it is stupid fast for a lawnmower. I guess that is the 26/12-12 rear tires but the engine seems much more powerful than 14HP.
Are there any mods I need to check for that someone may have made for racing/pulling that I need to undo before I start work on a new garden? Hopefully, this is simply the typical reaction to a 149 after years on craftsman and MTD machines. Thanks, Bob Hunt county, Texas

As Jon said those tires are not original, it should have 23x8.50x12 tires. I doubt any other mods were made, the hydro tractors are pretty fast and those taller tires are only adding more speed.

The difference in speed between a 23" and a 26" dia. Tire is approximately 1.2 to 1.5 mph, depending on the tread.

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.
