Got the 149 home yesterday
I got the 149 home yesterday. Left it on the trailer last night, it was darn cold in SW Missouri. About 6 this morning, but this afternoon was in the 40's.
So being of unsound mind I took off the carb and went to the lawn mower shop and got what i needed to rebuild it. Soaked it in acetone, and did the rebuild, put it back together, put a fuel filter inline and poured in some gas. Hooked up a jumper battery, turned the key and it tried to crank, but cranked over hard. Took several bumps to get past TDC on the piston. I took the head off to see what was happening with the ACR, but I could see no action to move the valve up a bit to releave the compression. Do you guys think I might adjust the valves a little and be lucky and that fix it? or does it mean take the engine out to fix that problem. Someone had been into the head recently, it was almost clean, with no carbon build up. I'm wondering if thats where forward progress stopped on getting it going with the PO. The young man I got it from traded for it. Oh, I might add, the valves seem to work as they should when the engine would be running. Tomorrow is a new day, not to be so cold as the last few have been. I'll be awaiting an answer, (and I hope it is what I want to hear) Dave in SW Missouri

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.
