Yes I think you hit the nail on the head for sure. I do want one for mower duty and one for snow duty. It's a pain to pull that thrower on and off each year.

Look up the exploded views of each machine and check out the differences.

Thanks Sam.

Got my old 149 out today and graded up a bunch of old hickory nut shells and stuff into a nice burn pile, then I graded the driveway and filled in a few holes in the drive before they got worse.

Thanks DX3. Why do you say the 149 is better for work duty??

Sounds kinda funny to a guy like me up north....grading the driveway and burning the pile in December, that is...but after the seven feet of snow, it got warm, melted and rained. But winter is back with a vengeance now.

Appreciate the input guys. I just love these old Cubs over anything new made today...Yes, I would love to get another machine for sure...just have to convince the wife first..
