My New To Me 149
I used to be semi retired but went back to work...driving semis OTR. Well that doesn't leave a great of time to play with the Cubbies. However, last summer i acquired another 149 from a member here at OCC. He told me the engine did not run very well...no problem...the tractor is in great shape and the price was very fair. After repairing the ignition system the engine roared to life...yayyyy! After about 10-15 minutes the exhaust valve stuck and it quit. I removed the cylinder head and other parts to access and remove the valves. At that time I decided to rebuild the engine. The tractor is too nice not to have a great engine in it.
Pics or it didn't happen!

Indeed nice enough for a rebuilt engine. I see some goodies on that tractor. Very nice. I hope I'm fortunate enough to get a 149 as nice as that for myself someday.

The exhaust valve comparison...The old one has been "necked" or stretched and the margin will be too thin if it was to be refaced. It is now in the scrap metal bucket.
Te piston was "washed" or had no carbon build up because it had too much oil blowby. The wobbly balance gears will not be going back in! When doing an engine rebuild, it is a good idea to reface the tops of the tappets. This will help in making accurate cold clearance tappet to valve adjustments.

Yes Coop it has some nice goodies. The tires are practically new, the tail lights lenses are OEM and in great shape too. The three point kit just makes it look bad ass too!

Nice looking 149, are you repainting or keeping it original?

It is too nice to strip and repaint. The engine will be repainted.

Very nice!
The erosion of that valve stem is impressive.

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.
