The OCC may be the weakest of the cub cadets, but there is something special about them. Can't put my finger on it, but nothing like just putting around on an Original!

Welcome to OCC.
To address your 149 being "jumpy" was most likely due to the trunion being out of adjustment. Most likely worn and needed some mantenance.
Yes the "O" was avalable with hyrdaulics. I've seen a loader was avalable as an option on the tractor.

i spy a John Deere 140 with V61s and Ag tires! gotta pic of that?

and i must agree the JD 140 is probably the greatest garden tractor they made.

at a tractor show a while back i saw an Original with a narrow frame hydraulic lift on it....wish i got a pic was pretty cool. i always loved originals they look so vintage along with a JD 110 round fender.

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.
