I say go for both you wont be disappointed very rarely have I regreted buying a cub you always regret the ones you dont buy but seriously the main advantage to the 149 is the removeable tunnel cover which I prefer but I do prefer the battery placement on the 147 (which is under the hood) over the 149s that is under the seat.

I agree with Daniel, old scool ! Tim you gotta get to work on a NF.
I know after the first 100 NF's it comes easy.

All that added "stuff" wouldn't be a restoration. As you were talking about a "nut and bolt restoration" in the beginning.
If you're going for something different than factory, this is the best looking one from a member here.

I was joking about the tractor for my wife.. She drives the 1211 every once in awhile but she's not all that interested on having her own.. YET!

How often do you need to access the area under the tunnel anyway?

The battery placement is another big one. Lotsa room under the seat of my 147 for a chain, clevis, etc. Not so much if I had a battery under there.

Cooperino, forget all this nonsense about 147 vs 149. Step up to a real tractor...get a 1650 Quietline.

Either way you go you are getting an American classic. (get the 149)

You might be right... I've been trying to get to see the 149. Just been slammed all week at work. Maybe this weekend. I suppose you know where I could find a nice 1650?? I have a 1211 to trade lol

If I had to pick just one I would want a 1x9. Whether that be a 129 149 or 169. The quiet line is similar in some ways main difference that I can think of is the solid mounted engine on the 129/149 vs the ISO mounts of the quiet line. And mechanical vs electric clutch. But I like the looks of the 1x9 over those of the quiet line. I honestly haven't messed with many narrow frames but again for the cool factor the 1x9 wins again.

Ok. So im sorta new to cubs in general.. I own 3. 1 quiet, 1 NF and a RER. The 126 I have is sorta cool but would prefer my hydro. Are all 1X9's as you put it hydros? Is that the main difference?

86, 108, 128 are wide frame gear drive models

109, 129, 149, 169 are wide frame hydro models

All 149s have hydraulic lift. It was optional on the 109 and 129. The 169 is an odd duck...it could have hydraulic or manual lift. However, it could be retrofitted with a hydraulic lift.

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.
