Brought home a 149
I finally got my 149 home that I bought a few weeks ago. Looked it over, and if this guy was using it weekly 1.5 years ago, I can see why he likely parked it.
Someone has been through this tractor and replaced and rigged a few things.  There was c-clamp holding one of the rear pins on the mower deck (which work just fine, so I don't even know what it was supposed to do. They've put bolts where the shoulder "frankenstein" bolts go. A guard is missing on one side of the steering tower. And there is no wiring to the headlights. The switch is there at least. Overall it looks ok, and most things look minor to fix. The PTO won't disengage, but there is clearly piece missing on the front. I haven't tried to start it yet, as there isn't a battery. The engine turns freely and has compression, so I'm hopeful. I'm gonna borrow the battery from the 1200 tomorrow and see what happens when I crank it. Hopefully it fires right up  Worst case, it will be a good parts tractor for my 1200. The wheel weights, blade and chains are worth what I spent on it. Here are a few pics. I'm sure I'll be back with some questions. Don't ask about the seat. He said it went too fast and threw him off, so he needed a taller back

Kool, I'm diggin the PO mods already.
Can't wait to see what you find the deeper you go. I see there's definitely potential there. We've all had to start someplace with them. But that seat, man that's the first thing that gots to go.

 And yea, that seat lol No, it doesn't recline lol. It's certainly first on my list if I get it running well. I've been eyeing e-bay, but I think I'll end up with a TSC special and fab up a mount. So far, I've found that there isn't a latch on the hood. I got the mule drive off, had to loosen the bolts they put in place of the shoulder bolts. I'm looking over the wiring now. There is a wire up by the starter that isn't attached to anything. Can anyone tell where it goes from the pic above? I swapped the battery from my 1200 into it and it cranks, but VERY slowly. It's 275 CA battery, so I'm thinking I need something a little more powerful. Does anyone know what the recommended CA is on the 149? I'd really like to make sure it runs before I spend the money on a battery though. Perhaps I could jump it with my car to get enough juice? Shouldn't hurt my current batter if I jump it with my car, correct? Quote:

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.
