Default What to look for...

Hi...

New to Cub Cadets... Im looking at a 149 to restore and add some things to if I buy it...

Is there a thread somewhere here like: "What to look for when buying a vintage Cub Cadet"?

Also, which is the best loader to add to these things? The one Im looking at already has the tiller...

Thanks in advance for the help...

Sincerely,

Steve

Welcome to OCC!

What to look for Depends on what your looking to spend. You can spend 100$ -300$ on a 147 and still be getting a decent deal. I would not pend more than 150$ without hearing it run and should include a deck at least.

Check to make sure its at least complete and hopefully not molested. Look for one that maybe was running a few ears ago and maybe replaced by the owner with something newer.I see a lot of that.

What area are ya from. Some of the guys here might point you in right direction on craigslist finds

It runs good, a little hard starting... Everything except the front headlights work including the tiller...

Its in great shape as far as I can tell...

Thanks for the reply...

Welcome Steve. You’re in a VERY sparse area of the US for old cadets so I’d say get on it if the price is good. 149 is a great model and with hydraulic lift and tiller. And welcome again!

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.
