Default QA latch springs
On my 149, the Quick attach latch does not stay in place. There was a long spring looped onto a homemade bracket that held it in place. I bought the latch springs, but can't seem to figure out how the go on the tractor. I thought there was a topic about this discussed earlier, but I can't seem to find it. So, anyone have a picture or diagram showing how they go on? Thanks,
Jason

Jason-

These springs are about the easiest fix on a cub. You don't have to remove the latch bar either. The picture R Bedell posted show all you need. With the latch bar held up, just curl the spring in place and make sure you get a good "bite" with the fish hook looking end. This is all that holds them in.

Hope this helps.....Wayne

That's great, thank you very much! I'm assuming there are only two (one per side), and that the picture is showing what it looks like inside by placing one on the outside? Thanks again,
Jason

Thanks all...I installed the springs and everything now works as it should. I can get rid of the ugly bracket and LONG spring the PO put on the tractor to make it work.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
