Default Early 70's Cub 149 Durability

Can't say enough about this tractor. Stole it from my Dad about 16 years ago because it would start breaking up after it warmed up.
Replaced the condenser and it has been doing mowing duty since (and snow blowing) since ~2009. I had to recondition the hydro mechanism 3 years ago (lurching) and rebuilt the pto early this summer. Granted, I ask a lot of this tractor but it is a worker!

I should mention that Otter Implement in Burlington, WI was great. The parts guy stopped what he was doing and provided step by step instructions on pto rebuild right down to marking the friction disc so I knew where those crazy anti-chatter clips went (they were gone on the original pto).

And of course, thank you to Mr. Bedell and Mr. Bounds for the excellent PTO drawings that allowed me to understand and get the correct parts in the first place. Many thanks guys-
