I bought a 149 last year and have pretty much went through all of it to make it dependable. Now I'm looking for a 128 to restore where I can tear everything down, then I will go back and give my 149 the treatment it deserves.

These things sure can get addicting!
I've got a 126 I'm going to do next summer. Hopefully it turns out as nice as the 149 did....yes, addicted.

Thanks. Yeah, I just couldn't paint everything the same color. Just seems so plain. A little change of color on some of the accent pieces adds a lot.

Looks great! 149 is my favorite of the Cubs. I have two! Neither are, or ever will be restored though.

Are those the stock rear tires? I'm going to replace the one I have on my 108 and those look really nice.

I don't believe they're stock tires. The cub originally had the 8.5 wheels and the rims were in pretty bad shape. I wanted the wider wheels anyway, and i found someone on craigslist within an hour of me that was selling the rims with the tires already on them for $40. Exactly the size I wanted...no rust...and good tread...Couldn't pass it up!

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.
