That does help sorta... That video led me to look for 149 specific video's and it seems like the 149 doesn't have the 5/8" hole for setting timing? Would love it if another 149 owner can confirm this. The multi-meter method should still work, I just won't be able to verify the timing marks on the flywheel... Or I can just go with turning the engine till the points rod is all the way out and setting the gap from there...

#2. If it is in the engine plate it will be below and behind the starer/generator and is difficult to see evern when you find it. #3. In either case there may be a pry-out cap that has to be removed to see in the hole. #4. The "S" and "T" marks wiil be very hard to find. The marks are usually faintly stamped and the flywheel will have dirt and rust on it. it helps to stick something abrasive it the hole while rotating the flywheel to clean it up. #5. The multi-meter method will do you no good if you can't see the marks. #6. My experience is that as long as you are at any point in the cycle where you are sure that the points are at max open, and you set them at .020 the engine will run fine. The multi-meter method may just give you easier starting or smoother throttle response.

Thanks Ironman!
Further searching I found some pix -- just never occurred to me the marks might be this obscure... Might be quicker to put a dial indicator down the spark plug hole and find my 20° that way! https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...t=14751&page=2 And now that I know exactly where to "look" I found the hole with my pinky under the S/G! Useless as tits on a boar hog... What was IHC thinking...

I must correct myself -- with the hood up -- you can get your head at an angle to see most of the opening under the S/G mount and the timing mark cast on the engine. Haven't had a chance to find the flywheel marks yet but I'm sure I'll be able to now with perfect light.

ok,
just to add maybe a little light to a blind mans search,  when the points are just starting to open, you will be looking for the timing mark/line as stated. The little marks are hard as hell to find, and I can't emphasize that enough. once in a million, some thoughtful person has put white paint on the mark to highlight it (have you ever won the lottery?) when you do find it, and it is there, make sure it is the correct one. to help. you will feel the crank gets easier to turn when the piston is at top dead center. for just a degree of rotation. Thinking while a good idea to use a dial indicator on the piston, most plug holes are over an exhaust valve, dammit  oh, one of those pen lights works well in the timing hole.

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.
