Great pics Diz and Lew!

Diz great seeing you've got your own cleaning crew to help you keep the 149 sparkling clean.

Lew That looks like more work leaving it in the 71. Please share your tips and tricks!

Remove spark plug wire.
Then set the brake pedal.
Then remove the 2 roll pins on the clutch shaft holding the plates on first,then the engine mounting bolts.
Then the 3 pin driver bolts.
Loosen the turnbuckle on the pto arm and remove.
Then loosen,but don't remove the two back bolts on the grill housing.It tips it back for more room when sliding the motor back.
Slide motor back and turn it to the right side slightly.
Then remove the driver,pressure plate,disc,pressure plate and teaser spring.

Be sure to put the bolts back in the driver before reassembly of the clutch plates and disc.

Time,4 adult beverages.

Would 4 pepsi work?

Lew thanks for the info going to try that next time I work on a clutch.

Yes it would.
This instance the t.o. bearing and drive shaft were in great shape, otherwise I would have pulled the entire assembly out.
This works for narrow frames mostly.Wide frames I have done the same way.
I am sure a ql would be more work.Prolly easier to remove the whole clutch assembly to be sure everything or any part needs to be replaced.

Today I got the 1712 buttoned up, and back in service

I had to pull the 50C deck from under the 1450, so I swapped the center pulley, moved the front deck hanger, sharpened the Gator blades, and greased the spindles.

I also put a 44A deck back together with the center pulley, sharpened the Gator blades, and greased the spindles....and mounted it under the 1450.

Then my wife jumped on the 1450 to start mowing, and I took the 1712 on it's maiden voyage. After a few laps, I decided everything was OK with the engine, so I changed tractors with my wife, and she put the 1712 through a workout.

As soon as we got done mowing, I drained the oil out of the 1712 (for the 3rd time) and refilled with fresh 30wt.....still just a tiny bit of metal flecks in the oil, so after we mow again I'll do another oil change, and we should be good to go

It was cool seeing the new oil pressure guage do it's thing. The freshened engine was putting out 65PSI with 'cold' oil, and once it was good and warm, it was running at 25-30 PSI......right within Kohler's spec.

Using a 50C and 44A deck VS just a 50C deck, cut the mowing time from 3.5 hours to 1.5 hours

Finally got the steering wheel broke lose on the 126 and removed it and the fiberglass dash today. Learned that by filling the wheel with water, and applying half a can of PB blaster so it settles completely around threads, and let it sit out in the 95 degree sun during the middle of the day and it just pops off! Also working on the front end to remove some of the slop from the axle pin and the steering knuckle, the column itself is nice and tight suprisingly!

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.
