I also see in the pics the the bracket between and above the headlights appears to be custom?
You’re welcome.
I made a custom headlight panel when I built the tractor. It’s made from 12ga SS.

There’s sketches of that too.

Nice Grill! I'll be making one sometime this summer that accommodates the hydraulic pump. The original is in great condition, so I'd rather see that go to someone who is restoring.

I moved quite a bit of dirt today, way easier than with a shovel. Tore out a bunch of landscape ties and a flower bed to make way for paving stones. Tomorrow I get to dig down to grade before backfilling with crush.

I was having trouble keeping my rpm's consistent and hauling down under a load sometimes. After one start the motor just went to 3,500 rpm and stayed there and no throttle control. Took about 10 seconds to find that the governor arm had come off. Pretty sure I tightened that during the rebuild. Anyway, setting and tightening it this time smoothed it right out.

Cool Pictures. I am finding that there really aren't many shovels made
these days that actually fit my hands. HP seems the most likely answer
to that dilemma . Tractor looks awesome.

After the rain today I hope to roll the lawn with it. The old girl is so easy to maneuver I just wish it would turn shorter.

I picked up a ten inch Brinly plow last night. Looks like new. I paid $100 and they are $800, before taxes, at my local Home Depot. You have to keep in mind that those are Canadian pesos.

In the last week, I loaded seven yards of dirt into a trailer from the yard with the mighty little Cub. I have some ags somewhere in transit and I found out as soon as it started raining steady that the turf tires and a loader don't go together on slick grass.

Yesterday I made a new left side cover for the mower deck on my 126. The original one rotted and broke a few years ago. I had an aluminum one I made for it, which worked, but it bent too easy. I made this one out of heavier steel. There was also a crack where the top of the skid bolts on and the bolt pulled out, so I welded a piece of metal to the bottom and put a new hole in it.

Today I put a quick coat of paint on to keep it from rusting. Doesn’t match the previous owners “close enough” pressure can white, but I plan on eventually repainting the whole tractor and deck the right way anyways. I plan on testing it out tomorrow.

Nice job on the deck repair. When I rebuilt my deck, I welded that piece solid onto the deck.

The 149 got to do a few different chores lately. With the bucket off, it's a perfect mount to work on a heavy four stroke kicker.

Then it spent the weekend restoring a 1/2 acre food plot. First was to disc down the long grasses and weeds that had been treated with Roundup. Then on to the slow job of tilling through all that grass. Too fast and it just wound around the tiller shaft until no teeth were showing. After a couple of sessions with the hook knife, I decided the smarter path was to just go slow. The plot was pretty hard and uneven, but became much more cooperative after the first time over. I tilled again at ninety degrees.

Then the Little Cub That Could dragged a box leveler around until things were pretty flat. Then a chain link drag. After the seed was down the fun part was pulling the culti-packer around at a leisurely pace.

All in all it was a fun and productive weekend. Then the dusty 149 went home to a cool shower and a rest in the shade. A job well done. I think he has earned an oil change and breather filter cleaning.

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.
