Default 149 fender install

Near time for me to put my fender back on the frame. It has been nicely repainted and I would like not to scratch it putting it back on the tractor. I had the fender off my work 149 to do the cork replacement and scratched it while trying to get past the bottom of brake pedal. Hardly any clearance there at all. Does the fender have to go in with the foot rests down and back of fender up higher? Is it possible to put oil on frame and slide fender in level? I can't remember from the last time I did this. Hope this made some sense. Thanks for your help in advance and have a great day.
Bob

Yeah, it's a little tricky to avoid scratching the paint. I'd put some blue painter's tape on the edges to protect them. Then just work slowly. You do have to tilt the front of the fender down and thread the foot pads into place.

Is it a Sesame Street blankie or is it a Paw Patrol?

Come to think of it, you seem more like a Power Rangers or TMNT kinda guy...

An extra set of hands would help.

Just use a set of rubber baby buggy bumpers on the sharp corners.

Default 149 fender install

Thanks for all the advise. I believe 3 sets of hands will be needed and some kind of buffer between the fender and brake lever. Guess it won't be the end of the world if it gets a little scratch. Thanks again and have a great day.
Bob

Card board or some thick towels.
Don't install the lift arm until AFTER the fenders are installed

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.
