149 friction control
Friction control on hydro lever of CC149.
Do you know the size of the bolt that goes thru the clamp that secures the shaft on the hydro control/linkage? The original is a hard to reach, small allen bolt. Can something else be used instead of the friction bushing IH-680521-R1 in this application? Mine is likely worn away. PO stripped out the allen fitting and I need to tighten it up and figured I would just replace it with a nut and bolt that is easier to reach. I am also guessing the friction bushing needs replacing on my setup. Right now I have the shaft secured to a rod on the chassis with a zip tie.... it gives enough friction to stop the hydro from running away on me. I would like something more permanent though and I am cheap and dont want to spend 20 bucks for the bushing. |

I got my bushing at a swap meet last year, there as a guy there that had TONS of "small parts" NOS/OEM for our machines.... I paid $10 for that bushing and grumbled at the time for no more than what that bushing is, until I saw what others want for that piddly piece of plastic...…
Are there gonna be any swap meets/tractor shows this year? About half that I go to in a year normally would have already happened, all of which have been cancelled due to this COVID crap.... IDK if any of the rest that usually happen throughout the rest of the season will happen yet, haven't heard either way yet. The one where I got that bushing for my 129, was the "1/2 Century of Progress" in Rantoul IL.... last year.... that show (if it happens) is beyond HUGE!!!! |

One quick fix I’ve had luck with is removing the double “L” shaped bracket and die grinding the crack open where the little Allen screw goes through and it will allow more squeeze on the worn bushing essentially doing the same thing as a new bushing. I don’t like buying any parts that I don’t have to

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.
