Mine has an internal brakes. Does yours?
S/N 588344 - 1976

My concern was the driveshaft opening, but it appears those are the same, The overall length and position of adjusting rod is what's different. I didn't have much issue adjusting mine.

I have internal wet brakes, that changed at SN 568631 according to tractordata.com

Let me know how it goes.

I'm waiting on spirol pins to arrive and I need to order a rag joint. You guys convinced me to spend the $15 now and get a new one. I'd hate to tear one and break ANOTHER driveshaft, or something worse. All over a $15 wear item.

Of course it's supposed to be beautiful this weekend here. Mid 80's and low humidity, and I don't have a running Cub to paly on

Yeah better to go ahead and replace the rag joint now. For those that are interested my new release arm measures 10" old one 9 3/4" so I'm thinking it had a extended length arm already on it.

Oh Jason, what's low humidity?? Ours has been running 85% -94% !! Hate muggy weather!

Making some progress, slow and steady. I got the driveline back together today. Thanks Jeff for saving my sanity by looking all over town for spiral pins and sending me a few with my PTO button.

I posted some pics before and after. Please look them over and let me know if I got something wrong. I also painted the solid mounts I got from Jeff.

I also noticed one spring appeared to be shorter than the other. Looks like it's just worn a little more and more compressed. I used the longer one.

Not sure when I'll get to put it in, probably not until next weekend, when I have some time to go out to my property and work on it.

Gonna go wrench on the 149 a little now.

Got the driveshaft back in and mowed for a few hours this morning.

Then.... as I was finishing up and getting ready to put the tractor away, it shut off. Not sure if maybe it overheated? It will turn over fine, and sounds like it's firing as it turns over. I checked the plug wire and it's connected at both ends. Plenty of gas. I ran it for 3 hours straight, it was 85 degrees by the time I finished up.

I was done for the day, so I just put it away. Gonna go back out in the morning to see what I can figure out. I'll take any suggestions. Will the coil and condenser work from my 149? I can rule that out at least.

Its. Always. Something.....

It's possible it may be the coil. Sometimes they work until they get hot. See if it fires up before you start exchanging parts.

Was it spinning over really fast as you cranked it? Could be a stuck valve, they start acting up after running a while. Could also be a coil issue like Jeff talked about. You put more than 3 hrs of gas in it, right?

It did seem to be turning quickly. But I was frustrated and worn out by then.

I'm going out this morning to see what it does. I'll report back. I was thinking the coil too.

Gas? These things need refueled after 3 hours...

Believe it or not, on occasion bolts have been known to vibrate loose on these machines, so.. check your battery B- cable to chassis connection for a good ground. I had one fuel tank that had been sitting with old gas in it for an extended period of time and the in tank screen became clogged on the lower section. Tractor would run to 1/4 tank and then die. Also, wouldn't be the first time that a spark plug just up and failed.

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.
