while mowing my 149 started to climb in rpm's. i shut the tractor down and looked it over, the govenor looked ok. so, i started it up. no change. so , i shut it down again and dragged it to the garage and found the problem: the throttle butterfly screws on the throttle shaft sheared off and the butterfly was in the intake. apparently the motor ate the screws and 'exausted' them out. i ordered new kohler screws which sheared off before they tightened up. so i drilled and tapped the shaft for new bass screws i bought at the hardware store in town. blue locktite, two 11 cent screws, new gaskets, air cleaner, and a clean carburator later and the beast lives again! lawn is mown, next week garden gets tilled. i've come to the conclusion that the old cast iron kohler is worth keeping. i'd also like to thank chris westfal, of cub classics for his advice, and available parts.

They do something with those screws to keep them from coming out. I believe they stamp the bar to lock them in. Nice you got it squared away.

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.
