New Cub owner, 149 help
Hey guys I am new to the forum. And a new cub cadet owner. I bought my first cub a 149 after my piece of junk craftsman broke down again. I love my new to me 149 but she needs some work.. I guess my first question would be that my pto will not disengage. The lever and linkage move just fine but the blades just keep turning that little button that sits on the front of the pto was fine but is messed up now because the pto wont disengage, I did replace the belt. The new one is pretty tight I put a 79" belt on that was way too loose so I put a 77" belt on and it is pretty tight. Also I have a 50" deck. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance for any advice

You have a mechanical clutch as opposed to an electric one. I looked at the pic of your clutch and it looks like the lever with the button is off center and not lined up with the center of the clutch. I also could not see a button on the pto and it should have one. Looking at the rock shaft that holds the lever the one side looks like it has moved to the right. That could be the reason for the pto not shutting off. If this is just an optical illusion then I would guess that the bearing which is attached to the pto shaft may have siezed.

Depending upon the condition of the fiber button on the end of the pto rockshaft, that may just require a simple adjustment of the turnbuckle that links the pto lever to the pto rockshaft. When the pto lever is forward, the clearance between the fiber button on the rockshaft and the thrust button on the pto should be .030inch. About the thickness of a matchbook. You'll find the the service manual for the 1X8/9 tractors in the technical section of this website, page 2. There's a great diagram of the mechanical pto's in there. And all the info you need to service and adjust yours. And, Welcome to OCC!

I think that the fiber button is pretty much shot and the turnbuckle is kinda stripped. I say kinda stripped because I can adjust it some but once I go so far the threads just let go. Any suggestions on where to get this stuff? Thanks for all the help guys

Welcome to OCC and congrats on your 149 purchase. You'll love the hydro lift. First cub I ever bought was a 149. Keep an eye on the mule drive belt. With all the twists and turns, the aftermarket ones tend to wear out quicker than one from a cub cadet dealer. Just the nature of the beast with the mule drive setup. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Well I got my parts yesterday I was hoping you guys could take a look at this PTO thrust button and let me know if it's the right one for my 149. I am sure the fiber button I got is right but I'm not so sure about this one.[IMG]

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.
