The simplest way with an apple device is to use a hosting site with an email upload feature ( I use photo bucket) email your video to the address in the Menu under upload. Then copy and paste the link to OCC.

One easy way to de-carbon an engine is to run it about half throttle after it gets to operating temperature and mist a water spray into the carb, just enough to make the engine stumble. Do this for about 30 seconds.

very interested to see what becomes of your head gasket replacement...i hope it fixes it. i noticed with my k301 it seemed to be making a slight knock noise and when i would increase the throttle somewhat quickly it looked like a small amount of smoke would escape from between the jug and head....already knew a rebuild was in my future...good luck to you..

Default 149 possible engine knock

Cub Cadet shop called and said my head gasket was in. Turned colder here and snowed a little last night. Will probably pick up head gasket tomorrow and maybe get started on it by the weekend. Worked hard yesterday and need to rest today. Also working on my brothers simplicity riding mower. Picked up a new solenoid for it. Need to get it running again. Also need to build a head resurfacing tool out of glass and wood. Will be busy once I get started again. Every one have a great day.

hope pto and the top end are the extent of your troubles! those pto springs are a bit of a pain (the little ones, not the big triangular one), but they do stop that noise from the pto pretty well. good luck!

Thought I would give an update for any one interested. Got my Brother's Simplicity up and running. It was the solenoid that was bad. And to Sawdustdad, I always put Family before any thing. Cub 123, your suggestion for a hosting site was a good one, but I am too old to try something like that. I hope to get the head pulled off the 149 this afternoon after it warms up a little. Will post some pictures and hopefully get some opinions as to what needs to be done. Thanks for all the support and have a great day.

Bob

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.
