Default 149 hydro problem
I just picked up a 149 which was sitting in a barn for years. I got it running pretty easy (fresh gas, fuel filter, etc.) and it runs good. I have a problem which I've never come across. As I start to go forward the tractor will just start going faster on its own until it reaches full speed. When I put the brake on it goes back to neutral. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions if anyone has experienced this problem.
Thanks,
Earl

There is a friction adjustment on the hydro control handle.
The adjustment procedure is in the service manual.
*IF* it has been corrected, you can download it here.
If not, contact the admin, here.

I just looked at the manual and found the friction adjustment on the hydro handle. I will adjust it tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help.

There should be a friction bushing in there too. It was almost gone on my 149 and the bolt was tightened all the way down. They are available from the sponsors. I'm cheap and didn't want to pay the shipping, so I wrapped electrical tape around the outside of the bushing to thicken it up and cranked er down as a temp fix. Seems to be ok 2 years later.

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.
