It is definitely aluminum. The person i picked up this 149 from was definitely a "Cub Cadet guy" that admitted he just didn't have the time anymore. In fact, i counted at least three other 60-70's IH Cub Cadet GT's while i was there, one of them was in a shop and looked like it was off the showroom floor. It is possible that this machine might have been victim to a parts swapping. When i started pulling the engine at home i kept looking for a starter only to check photos and realize that it uses a starter/generator, which was not present...but he says i can swing by and pick one up from him (allegedly).

It was obvious to me that the pan had been rremoved once already and it's also very possible that some grade 2 junk bolts were used when mounting. About 70% of the engine serial number tag is missing, i am going to try and run what's left to varify that it is even the appropriate engine (appears correct though).

I did download the .pdf from this site on the engine and i will at least measure the the crankshaft journal before i try and run it. The rod seems to slide lateral/horizontal along the journal a little too easy, but i also admittedly know next to nothing about small engines and this might be normal. I also found the oil slinger to be marred and the bits from the marred slinger were found on the bottom of the pan, how that could have happened i really don't know. It turns over very smoothly, has compression, and i visually ensured the valves are doing what they are supposed to do.

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.
