Early 70's Cub 149 Durability
Can't say enough about this tractor. Stole it from my Dad about 16 years ago because it would start breaking up after it warmed up.
Replaced the condenser and it has been doing mowing duty since (and snow blowing) since ~2009. I had to recondition the hydro mechanism 3 years ago (lurching) and rebuilt the pto early this summer. Granted, I ask a lot of this tractor but it is a worker! I should mention that Otter Implement in Burlington, WI was great. The parts guy stopped what he was doing and provided step by step instructions on pto rebuild right down to marking the friction disc so I knew where those crazy anti-chatter clips went (they were gone on the original pto). And of course, thank you to Mr. Bedell and Mr. Bounds for the excellent PTO drawings that allowed me to understand and get the correct parts in the first place. Many thanks guys- SD

I love my 149. It is one of the staples of my collection and is one of the best-built, most durable, and easiest to work on Cubs in my collection, IMHO. Glad to see your one-family Cub continues to serve you well!

Congrats on getting the 149 back in working order
 It's also good to have a service department-parts place that knows something of what you need for these tractors. And the help of these guys on OCC.

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.
