149 pic request
 

Could someone snap a couple of pictures to show me where the mount (bracket) on the starter/generator goes to on the engine. The top bracket that you adjust to change/remove the belt and tension.

Thanks!!

I don't have a picture but it bolts the same place that all the others do.

Left hand side of engine, 3/8" bolt hole, right behind the starter pulley and basket.

Do you have PICS of your dilemma?

That's my former 122

Yup, just like that.

I don't have my 127 over here to compare it to.

To me, that upper bracket arm is on the wrong side of the S/G mounting tab. Is that a Cub Cadet S/G...???

That's what I thought Roland, if you look at the 1st pic, there's that tab on top of the plate on the engine... It "should" go there, right?

This is what I found in the 1x8/9 Service Manual....

Could the Upper Arm Bracket be off from some other model than a 149..???

I'll have to play around with it this evening. I can't/couldn't remember if the bracket mounted into the block or onto a bracket on the heat shield. I just glanced, but didn't see anything in the engine block, but again, that was just a glance.

One other thing I've noticed, it looks like gas is coming out of the cab. The air filter and pre-cleaner looked to be soaked in a gas/oil combination. I'm beginning to wonder how much maintenance this thing has had over its life. the hydro is in great shape and really smooth in F/R. You can tell this was a flat land tractor.... the brakes have never been adjusted and the pads look brand new. In fact, when you press on the brake pedal the pads don't even touch the disc! haha
