Default New to me 149 in my garage NC
Howdy! from Salisbury NC! Seems to be lots of good info here and thought before I questioned on to many threads I ought to slide through here! Just got myself a 71 149 with deck and hydro lift for $275 last week! Been pouring all my weak skills over it and it's finally running pretty well! Got quite a bit of blow by but still manages 110 psi compression, not sure what's going on there just yet! Just really got it running and moving real well this morning had some moments of wow is this all she has!! And a couple of quick searches and fiddling with check valves to wow this thing is gonna work out nice!! LOL! Got some parts ordered got to get the trunnion springs on order as well as it welded up! Anyone local volunteering that's done it? Lol

So far it's been a weird experience mostly learning about an ACR never worked on Kolher engines at all! My dad was like it will never fire with 30 to 50 psi compression, every engine book I've ever dealt with says rebuild after they get below ninety! Then when i buzz him back when it hits and we both like weird!!! LOL! He's mostly Briggs man!! I'm beginning to like Kohler!! Lol easy
to adjust valves that's for sure!

Congrats on the 149. Glad to see another NC member on board. I frequently visit Salisbury and hit up the Wagon Wheel. Im located down in Cabarrus County just south of Concord in Midland.

Thanks! I must admit I was very leary of the hydro tranny when I went to look at it as my dad had borrowed one when i was a kid and it needed all mine needs now as it had the pulsating, intermittant weird acting tranny but with the new front and ag tires i figured I could easily part it out if I had to and get my money out of it....

I believe the wife likes it as much as I am liking it, but in the country song sense. It's funny i have a Husky rider 155 for mowing and I would rather use my under powered Ford LT80 cause it looks more like a tractor and of course the obvious every time I hit a twig with the husky the blades may decide to smash into each other. LOL

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.
