Another 149 Rebuild
I bought my 149 in Sep. 2011 and it has worked intermittently since then. Burned up a couple solenoids and ignition switches. It has just sat for the last four years, not running. I have decided it is time to get it running and looking good so I am diving in all the way. Reading on this site is seems there are a few common things that are highly likely in need of replacement: pump relief valves, cork gasket, tie rod ends, axle pivot pin, steering cam follower and installing a "super steer" bearing kit (which I haven't figured out exactly what that is yet). I have built a new wiring harness and now the tractor is completely torn down. I plan to take the engine to a machine shop to have them go through it. I would like to focus on the pump and transmission now to ensure they are in good order. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. This tractor does have it's share of battle wounds as you can see by the spindle picture. BTW - this is my first tractor task. I am a shade tree mechanic, not totally unfamiliar with tools but not an expert in anything (yet). Thanks

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.
