Mine wouldn't start for beans sitting outside in the cold weather. (147) It needed to start because I was going to use it for snow removal. I made room in my garage to keep it out of the weather/wind. It's an unheated garage but it does make a significant difference.

My 149 starts hard when the temp is below 30 degrees. I did disconnect the drive shaft and it starts. One thing you need to remember you are spinning the hydraulic pump in the trans when you are starting the engine. The majority of the stored charge is going to turn the starter, engine and hydraulic system. There is not enough power left to for the spark plug to fire.
What weight oil do you have in the engine? Oil Kohler says to use is 10W-30 when temps are below 32 degrees.

I have also found something that helps with cold hard starts is: the correct weight of oil (10W 30), the highest CCA battery that will fit in the battery box (got mine at TSC) and I put a battery trickle tender charger on it anytime they are calling for snowfall. For the past 2 years this has worked. If it ever fails to turn over fast enough using this method, I'm going to go the magnetic heater under the rear end method.

Ditto drglinski's post, I did the same thingsto my 105,and replaced the coil with a Bosch Blue from Kirk engines inc. What a difference, and was able to open the plug gap to .032" from .025". But what I also find helpfull is disengaging the hydro with the lever on the tunnel cover so the starter is'nt driving the hydro pump. Don't know if the 149 has the same feature or not. Good luck, Steve

I agree with what everyone else is saying but don't overlook the little stuff. Case in point my 129 all the sudden didn't want to start this summer. I went over a bunch of things that wouldn't really have made sense only to finally discover the clip that holds the choke cable down by the carb had fallen off and the choke plate wasn't actually being controlled by the cable.

My 149 is particularly difficult to start because the hydro tends to engage more than my other hydros. I've adjusted the neutral on all the tractors, including the 149, but it still tends to engage when starting.

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.
