Happy Easter everyone. I have 3 cub 149s and have been trying to get at least one ready for spring tilling and summer mowing. The first one we got when I was 8 , I'm now 38. The second shortly after and the third I just got a couple weeks ago after trying to get the others running. I need some ad vice on which engine to use. The first always ran great till one day mowing up a hill it started loosing rpm and on the way down it would over rev . Both situations could be compensated for with the throttle. No actual loss of power, I think the governor is broke inside the motor, still ran great otherwise. The second one I've asked about on another thread and got some great responses on what to do with the wallered key way on the crankshaft and basket pulley. I picked up the third hoping it would allow me to slowly work on the other two. It seemed like a great machine until I had a chance to work it with the tiller yesterday. When ever you would start to put a load on it it would make a chirping noise from the motor area. I started inspecting and noticed the head gasket was blown and figured that was the problem. Replaced the gasket and it runs a little better but the chirping is still present . I've spent so much time and more than my allowed budget trying to get a good running 149 . I need some advice. Sorry for such a long post . Just trying to give all info . Wrist pin ? Any help appreciated

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.
