129 vs 149 -- You people warned me...
When I joined the forum I said I'd never get a 2nd tractor...
ya'll said I would... Seems ya'll were right... For $75 and a u-haul rental I couldn't resist! I've had my 149 for a year now and I DO enjoy it... I've come to realize all the repairs it needs will be difficult to perform during mowing season cause I don't want the downtime -- so I got me a nearly complete 129 today with a 44" deck. I confess I'm very excited, all 3 spindles move freely but it does need a little patching/welding but I enjoy that kinda stuff... So now for example I can rebuild the steering column from the 129 at my leisure and then swap it onto the 149 minimizing down-time... According to the owner, it'd been sitting in the barn for 20 years but the engine does turn over. He was sure the hydro was good -- the hydro trunnion is smoother than on my 149 so limited hours might be true... The engine serial # tag says K321A -- I thought that was the 14hp like on my 149? He did say his son had swapped engines around trying to get it going at some point a few years ago... Besides the mule lift, what are the other differences between the 129 and 149? Is there anything on a 129 that I shouldn't use on a 149? It's unintentional but both pix make it look better than it is -- all the tires are dry rotted -- the good front tire is from my 149 that I brought to make it easier to push onto the trailer...

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.
