Default Any CC 149 owners out there?


Question about the hood hold downs on a 149. My hood brace has groves in it where the hold down contacts it. Are they suppose to be there or should the brace be without the groves? Thank you for your time. Don B.

I have a 128 (12hp gear drive, yours is 14hp hydrostatic drive, otherwise pretty much the same) and I don't see any hold downs... maybe I'm missing a few pieces. My tractor is an original neglected 128, now it's a better maintained but well worn 128.

There shouldn't be any grooves. Time to do a bit of welding to build it back up. I had to do that on my 128.

You can see the hood latch hanging down on the steering tower. There is a catch up in behind the fiberglass dash that they rest on to hold the hood down. Hanging down allows the hood to be raised.

I have welded up the grooves in my 149 and 169.
I even put a little spot on the latch wires also to build them back up.

Do most of you guys use your hold downs and do they seem to keep the hood from shaking and rattling on your 1x8/1x9 series tractors? I have taken them off of a couple of mine because I have had issues with them catching on the hood when raising and lowering. I may need to make some adjustments to my grill in order to properly position the hood with respect to the dash, and I know I need to do some fiberglass work on the dashes to tighen fhings up.

Thanks, I may one day get it finished. Seems like something always comes up and takes away my finishing money.

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.
