Electric Fan On A 149
Hello,
I recently bought a IH Cub 149.The PO had a fan mounted on the inside front grill. The fan was broke so I removed it. How beneficial do you think a fan would be? And also if I did replace it would I want the fan blowing air onto the motor or visa versa. Thanks

On an air-cooled engine I can't imagine it would be overwhelmingly beneficial. The cooling is provided by air sucking into the debris screen, routing up through the tins and across the head. Now with a radiator setup, I can see some possibilities.

I don't think it would be that helpful and PA isn't known for it's hot summers. I think you would be blowing your money by adding a fan.
 Pun intened. Keep in mind it's your money and your tractor which makes it your choice.

With it pushing backward toward the engine , that would make it miserable in the summer being blasted by that hot air. But id you decide to replace it, try looking for one off of a liquid cooled motorcycle. They are typically pretty small and can be had for pretty cheap on fleabay.

Virtually all garden tractors take fresh air in from behind the engine and blow it forward so if a fan were to do any good at all it would have to blow out the front. IMM a fan blowing back at the engine would somewhat counteract the air coming from the back of the engine.

I agree, if you did put on another I would have it push out the front to pull the heated air from the engine and the large amount of heat from the muffler. I'm not sure how helpful it would really be, but it might keep the hood/ grill a little cooler.

It's not doing anything to help, so just remove it. The flywheel fan is more that capable of cooling the engine, provided the cooling fins are clean, and adding an additional fan several inches away isn't going to matter.

fan
If he had a electric fan on it, be sure he did not change out the flywheel, check and make sure the flywheel still has fins on it,make sure they have not been cut off or he has put a steel flywheel on it, that would be the only reason why I think he would have put an electric fan on it., that is if this motor has ever been on a pulling tractor, who knows

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.
