I just started having starting problems this past week. Slow to turn over then acting like a drained battery. I worked my way to the front of the tractor cleaning every battery connection as I went . When I took the front frame to engine cable off the frame connection it fell to the floor. The end that bolts to the S/G frame had broke off.
So on my 1974 149, the cable bolts to the frame at the grill mount and to the S/G bracket. It was on the front S/G pivot bolt, but I used a spacer washer and a 1/4" longer bolt and attached it to the bracket bolt.
Starts like a champ again.
