The 149 looks great. My 128 is almost finished up too.

Yeah, sorry about that guys. I wish I had some. We were so gung-ho to get started that we had it torn apart before we got any pictures. I can tell you this much. The tractor was completely torn down to every individual piece and each part was stripped of paint and rust with angle grinders. Wish I had a sand blaster for that part! The rim of the fiberglass dash (where the hood overlaps) had to be rebuilt with fiberglass and bond. It was all broken off. Rear of the fend was bent in (aren't they all) and we had to straighten that back out. I replaced all the drive components between the engine and the hydro. Also had to have the trunnion welded up, so I replaced the springs while i was at it. Drives like a new tractor now. I'm really happy with it.

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.
