My starter generator was in similar condition to yours and I found a nice rebuilt unit for $77 on EBay. There is one left at that price. Couldn’t even come close to getting mine done for that price. The pieces and parts would have been more than that. Here’s the link:

Let us know how it works for you. I bought one from DB Electrical for $100 that seems OK. I posted the details earlier in this thread.

I have a 1973 128 that my uncle bought new. Shes pretty rough but managed to till the garden twice now for me. I experienced the same issues with an ebay carb recently. I saw your post on the 149 and I am envious. I found a used creeper box and spring lift assist for the 128 but thought i would try and find a hydro tractor with lift like your 149. I found one not too far from me on facebook, but no response for two weeks now. Its for a running working 149 with mower for $250 (!) Even more frustrating is the fact that the seller recently lowered the price from $300...��

149 steering mount cross member
As I have mentioned, the 149 steering box cross member flexes significantly, in fact, my cross member was cracked at the mounting bolt and the weld to the frame. I did a crappy weld job on it but it still flexed, so I cut a piece of 3/16" x 1.5" x 10.25" bar stock to weld on to the existing cross member. Because the Ross box mount is slightly angled I ground a piece of bar stock into a wedge shape with a Norton Blaze wheel (they cut like butter).
I'd like to say I welded it on and the Ross box is rock solid now. I did, but it's not. My mig welding skills suck especially badly when I'm laying on my back with bad lighting. It looks like a disaster but it's more solid than it was. If I'm feeling brave I'll snap a pic tomorrow just for a laugh. I need a good laugh. I'll redo the welds the next time I decide to remove everything from the frame and can flip it upside-down, in other words, probably never. It's OK though. I only spent 2 days on this little project to be ready for moving snow next winter. Did I mention that it didn't snow once in Annapolis last year? I guess it's good insurance, if nothing else.

Great project. Thanks for sharing pics and I'm also glad to hear the option for getting tail-lights. I have a long way to go to get up and running but I'm steady moving towards it.

drive shaft refresh
The saga continues.
I noticed two things on my cub. A knocking sound that occurs when I move into neutral, and a badly notched engine to driveshaft coupler. Thinking they might be related, I decided to weld up the notches, replace the fan, and, paint the shaft and coupler. My question is; should the shaft to rag joint be square? If the driveline isn't perfectly straight, it shouldn't matter if it's a little off of square because the rag will be flexing anyway. Should I get the welder out or just slap it back together? Look at the pics.... BTW copper pipe perfectly fits the coupler for welding.

Sure, it should be pretty square +/- a rag joint flex or two. Given that it doesn't turn at 30000 RPM, you should be able to get that one pretty close with some judicious bending (bolt flange down, and put pipe over the shaft part, almost the whole way down).

The rag end of the shaft was perfect after I added a shim washer so I just bolted it up instead of rewelding it. Bummer though, it sounds like I have a 'knock' but I'm not sure.

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.
