An update. The 149 is running good. I have worked out most of the issues. I bought a front blade and three point hitch for it. I swapped the tires and wheel weights from my 125. I even washed it yesterday. It cleans up pretty good.
The day I brought it home.
After some fixin' and some cleaning.
I am very happy with it. Happy enough that the 125 is now for sale. I have post in the classifieds if anybody is interested.
