149 - burnt points?
I hate this ethanol crap gas we have now in old equipment. As such, I shut off the fuel valve and run my engines dry when I won't be using them for a while. Well this practice bit me I think. I ran my 149 out of gas and forgot and left the ignition key on. Now the engine turns, but won't fire. Did I burn the points by leaving the ignition on? Should I just slip a points file between the contacts and go, or do I need new points and go through the K-series Static Ignition timing proceedure?

Yes there most likely burnt, new points would be best but cleaning them with a file might get you by if you need it.

It depends on how bad they are, if you left the key on for a long time they may be welded together AND the coil may be burnt up.
Without getting into it, all you can do is expect the worst but hope for the best. Good luck.

It was left on about 24 hours. Didn't think about it hurting the coil, hopefully it survived! I did take the key out, but I think what happened is I was able to remove the key with the ignition switch still in the on position. Maybe tomorrow will warm enough to investigate. Cross fingers. The starter quit on my old Wards/Gilson the same day, so I'm tractorless right now, Not a good feeling. Got to get one of the old girls up & running, and also need to find the source of the bad oil leak on my 1810. Come on spring heat!

Looks really tight to get the points cover off with the engine in the frame. Am I looking at unbolting the engine from the frame and tilting it a bit to gain good working access to the points? Any tricks?

No need to unbolt the engine. IIRC Wide frames should have an access hole in them for the lower points cover screw.

30 seconds into the video shows the location of the hole for the bottom bolt on the points cover.

If your lower mounts are shot and the rails are sitting on the X member, that lower screw can still be a pain to get out through the hole.
Replace 'em with allen wrench socket head screws If Ya don't have a "wedgie" type screw driver or a magnet one.

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.
