Nice job, looks clean. I used the kit on a 126, with tri ribs feels like power steering

That what I've heard Rick. I am putting on some narrow tri-ribs too. I am looking forward to feeling the difference. It does make sense that it would turn easier with that bearing on there.

For other newbies - good to know that other brand rear wheel weights may fit just fine. Our Sears is going out of business so I got two 55# wheel weights for about $50 plus tax - and they fit like they were made for it.

On the 149 steering wheel, I am guessing the center emblem was just a foil with a sticky back. Is that correct? I cut a piece of steel to fit in mine that I can attach with double sided tape and the new sticker would have a place to adhere to. What is everyone else doing about the steering wheel center emblem?

I do virtually the same thing. aluminum flashing, cut to fit. Apply decal.

Thanks, I am the right track then. I cut mine from 14ga steel, hopefully it will stay put.

I was planning on doing the same for my 149 steering wheel as well.

Temperatures were up today so I decided to do some painting. I have to paint outside. Everything was going really well; working on the third coat of white and "whoosh" a gust of wind comes through and suddenly I have a bunch of crap stuck to my wet paint! Sometimes a fella's patience gets seriously tested!

I am missing the springs and spacers for my rear brakes. Does anyone know of a source or something else that can be used. I'm not even exactly sure what the spacer looks like or does? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I gave up and just bought a spring from Ace and shoved it in, hopefully it will work ok

LESSON LEARNED - I have the brakes that don't require a spacer or spring. Thanks to Dart1917 and cooperino for educating me! That is a great relief.

I decided I wanted my air cleaner to be a little different, so I painted it black and made a sticker for it. Just wanted to make sure there was no confusion on who made it.

Default Basket Pulley slips 1/8 turn

With the PTO removed should the basket pulley be able to shift 1/8 turn? It stops where the holes lines up with the set screw holes, but can move 1/8 turn clockwise. It feels like it locks at both ends of travel, but it shifts with some pressure. The front bearing has not been removed. Thanks.

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.
