Removing old Decals
What is the preferred method to get the old decals off the hood of my 149?
I have tried several concoctions but none seemed too successful. What would happen if I rubbed a little acetone on them? I have seen it take paint off real quick? Sorry I jumped too quick, I think I found my answer in the "Search" feature here. Found it after I posted this, now I don't know how to delete it in its entirely. Dave

I just remove a set using my heat gun... A commercial strength one.
They peeled right off. The leftover glue is harder.. Acetone took care of it.

Heat Gun
I use a harbor freight heat gun I picked up on sale for $9.99. Takes the sticker off in a few seconds and you can remove the residual glue with acetone. With a little care there will be no damage to the paint.

Did anyone besides me ever use a heat gun??
  If you get good at it, the glue will mostly come off with a putty knife while still warm. I keep a new plastic putty knife that I got at Sears just for removing decals. Keeping the paint intact (no gouges) is easier than trying to restore partially scraped paint.

I too use a harbor freight heat gun with awesome results. Have for 10 years. $10 pays for itself first time with all the time you save peeling and/or repainting.
I've also used a sharp razor blade scraper with success when paint doesn't matter but wear gloves and BE CAREFUL as they can slip.

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.
