a few questions about my 149.... whats this lever for? pics..
hey guys...
got a few questions about my 149... - whats this lever on the trans tunnel for?  - whats the lifting capacity on the sleve hitch/stock hydrulic system ? How much weight can I hang on my plow? (i repaired the bent lift arms last night, gave it all a coat of paint and added some new grade 8 hardware...  - the little plastic fan on the driveshaft... how important is it? it was fine the other day, but while I was plowing today it must have broken from vibration.. maybe it was brittle? idk... I made a pass and came back and there were peices of it in the dirt... lastly, i spent about 30 mins plowing the garden up today... ive still got a little okra coming, but man i couldnt be happer with this little tractor!! Now I need a turn plow, a box scrape, a set of discs, and a tiller!!! haha!  thanks in advance guys!

The lever on the side of the tunnel cover is used to release the manual hydro valves so that you can push your tractor around if needed. You might want to remove the tunnel and see if you have manual or automatic valves. Each of the manual valves will have a button on top to push down. The auto valves will have nothing.
The limit of the rear lift I want to say is @ 300lbs. but I am not 100% sure about that. Someone here will know for sure. The fan is needed to help cool the hydro pump. The pump is aluminum with cooling fins on top and the fan blows air over the fins to aid in cooling of the hydro fluid. In my opinion I would put a new fan on before doing a lot of plowing or working the 149.

They used aluminum in the early model cubs but went plastic. It probably broke because of the age and it was brittle. If you think about it, it was over 30 years old before it broke... That's pretty dang good, LOL. You can pick one up at your local dealer or our sponsors up at the top of the page will have one. Also since you will have your drive shaft out, I would go ahead and put in new flex joints too. Then your drive shaft should be good for many more years as long as none of the spiral pin holes look worn. You do have the service manual for the 149? If not it is located in our GT library.

Not familar with your 149, but you might want to look @ the lift arm to see if it is hitting the fan when lifting/dropping, while you have the tunnel cover off.
I've heard of them getting broken because the lift arm hits them.

matt, im not useing a turning plow... its some sort of cultivator plow.. it weighs maybe 50 pounds? and its short so i dont have leverage on my side.. if you think you can adjust it to dig in hard packed dirt with no weight please come educate me.... if you dont need weight why did you put a huge weight on that turning plow you restored?  do you have it out of adjustment?

only1stegall- You said you had a plow, not a cultivator, so how was I supposed to know what you meant? Yeah, a cultivator is probably going to need some weight. The 3-point and sleeve hitch are probably good for ~250# safely, but you won't need that much for a cultivator.

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.
