So why doesnt the 149 have a fan shroud like the 147?. I had the cover off and was adjusting the neutral cam and thought, wow Im close to the fan. The hydraulic lift if put on wrong will actually hit the fan. BTDT. LOL. So has anyone put one on their 149? I know its close and maybe thats why it doesnt have one. Ive also seen where the 147 rubs. Maybe it restricts the airflow? Just thinking since my parts for my pto havent arrived yet..Im bench racing.

A 147 is a narrow frame. All narrow frames are design to have a cover like on your 147.
A 149 is a wide frame. If you look below the gas tank you will see side shields on my Son's 86. ![]() This is just a guess....IH change the design to help with cooling and looks. |

RFrank: Don't know why, but if I had to guess, I'd say that someone at the Louisville Cub Cadet plant probably got an award for a cost reduction suggestion by eliminating the fan shroud.

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.
