I found a 154 owners manual in some stuff I bought and there was a section in it about transporting it. Where to hook is irrelevant to cadets but it stated to over inflate the tires to keep bouncing to a minimum.
Like Tim I use a clevis on the back then I hook to the foot rest bar( like where the front blade pushes from)

Something I always do on a Cyclops is to keep a small strap and wrap it vertically around the tractor toward the back of the hood to keep it from flying up. I do this no matter what direction it is loaded. Aside from that, I put a strap around whatever axle is to the front and around the railing of the trailer. I've got several hundred miles of towing this way without a problem.

One thing my brother taught me (about bigger tractors) is to haul it outta gear, that way if something happens and moves, it won't accidentally start itself and drive itself off a trailer. Never thought about that. Not really an issue if you've got a hydrostat.

I think he is talking about a magneto ignition with a momentary contact stop switch.

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.
