Not new to OCC, but new project
I've been lurking around for a while, but never got serious about my 149 - until now. I would like to start my restoration project soon.
It ran when I got it, but seems to eat voltage regulators. It broke down about 4 1/2 years ago and I just parked it to work on a couple other big projects. It's now time to think about a full restoration. Any newbie advice before I tear into it? BTW I am in Colorado Springs, CO.

* Wrong V/R * Not mounted correctly * Not wired right * Bad wiring and/or harness Go to the Technical Library for tractors and on Page #5, find WF Wiring Diagrams. Download the one for the 149. Make sure your tractor is wired the same as the diagram.

If you have never taken one of these apart or any type of machine for that matter you should get a system going to identify parts and what they were for and where they came from. Be methodical in the disassembly. Write with a sharpie on each bag. "engine mounts and bolts" "fender hardware" etc etc. Take pictures with your cell phone before disassembling parts your not familiar with. Have a plan... Many people start projects like this with one idea of what they want to achieve. Then once your mid way into project your forced to change that plan because of the unexpected pop up issues. Plan to change your plans. Especially with a Cub. You will run into things that you thought were ok and usable just to find you need a new one of these.. or something needs repair. Most importantly. TAKE YOUR TIME and have fun with it. Oh wait. thats not the most important thing... POST PICTURES HERE!!!! Good luck and have fun.!

I will add that i feel when you do one of these full refurbs, everything mechanical as far as issues should be fixed first. Nothing worse than to assume something is ok and then on the first shake down after paint you find a big issue, bad noise, etc. that makes you tear it apart again and muck up your brand new paint. Put it through it’s paces and make sure the mechanicals are 100%, no leaks, starting and charging good, no noises, no smoke, then tear it down to paint.

It works like a charm. If your wife says anything to you about using her muffin pans, ask her when was the last time she made muffins? And did she make 6 pans worth?

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.
