Default 149 Power Wash
I'm going to be removing the rear fenders to check out my trunnion wear (lurch). While I'm at it I'm going to clean the whole tractor with my power washer. I figure I'll put a plastic sandwich bag with a twist-tie over the carb and some duct tape over the hydro release valves (manual). Anything else I need to protect? Thanks in advance

Watch out for your seals on the rear end.

I think a simple powerwashing will turn into a full blown CC resto.

Cover the breather hole on the top of the rear end. Lots of water can get through there with a power wash.

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.
