149 hood latches?
Greetings all. Longtime reader first time poster here.
I’m restoring my 149 and appear to be missing whatever is supposed to be on the inside of the hood where something to do with the catches should be. All I have is empty holes. I would appreciate someone posting some pictures of what I’m missing. Thanks!

There is supposed to be a flat piece about 2" tall that runs from one side of hood to the other that a spring lever (544190r1, 544191r1) left, right contacts to hold hood down. Flat piece is spot welded to inside of hood. Maybe holes you refer to are where spot welds were at ? Can't tell without pics.?

Yes, that bar is spot welded to the hood. I think it about 1/8” thick by 1 1/2” wide. Pretty easy to make. If someone doesn’t have the location measurements soon, I’ll try to remember to measure mine next time I visit my 149.

Yes, that piece is there.
Measurements for the missing hood brace would be great so I can reproduce it and weld it in at the right place. Do those spring latches just mount over those 2 lonely looking threaded studs on the sides of the tower?

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.
