This is the drained and mostly cleaned transaxle. Still a bit of crap in there, i'll clean that out soon. I hope the gasket is cleaned off enough from the cover plate. Here is previous post with the before pics too.

Rewiring the 149 - Continuity everywhere!?
Allrighty everyone. It has been about 4 years since I posted last and the 149 runs great. I have used it to mow my 1/2 acre in northern new mexico for a couple years and for plowing and tilling. I replaced the rear tires (original turf tires since 73 with tons of plugs) with Super Lugs; that made a world of difference for plowing. My granddad used to get stuck all the time with those turf tires. Recently I even helped my neighbor move a lot of gravel with my box blade. But all this time I have not corrected the inferior/incorrect battery - s/g - v/r - wiring. The tractor has not charged this entire time and enough is enough.
After shooting lots of wires I have decided to just rip out all the wiring and replace. Before ripping out wires here is what I was getting with a multi-meter: Field (s/g)- Field term - 0 ohms Field (s/g) - G term- 0 ohms A (s/g) - G term - 0 ohms A (s/g) - Field (term) - 0 ohms 12.5 volts (battery static charge) 0 ohms - Batt Neg Terminal & foot ground (v/r) Voltage @ G terminal (used battery ground) - 2.5  Seeing as I was essentially having all wires connected I have decided to just start fresh - it is a rat's nest of wires under the dash. One question - is there any way that a stuck point in the v/r could cause all points to show continuity? Any tips / tricks on rewiring is greatly appreciated - PICS soon to follow.

Mine too
My (new to me) 149, also needs rewiring. Engine was upgraded to newer design, with gear starter. No voltage from stater, and other wire messes. Tractor runs great, but will have to charge the battery from time to time. So will eventually tear it out and start over. Winter project?

I also have a new-to-me 149. I got it in Jan. My wiring was all painted yellow from a paint job. I labeled each wire end as I removed the connection. My local Electrical/Plumbing supply had 8 different colors of 12ga stranded wire. I followed the wiring diagram for the color of each wire. There are a few wires that are different, but I recolored a wiring diagram with the colors I used. My light wires are now white instead of violet as an example. I bought 6ft of each color wire ($0.17/ft), four boxes of end connectors ($1.99/box), and 10ft of plastic wire conduit ($4.95). I have less than $25.00 in the new harness. I haven't tried it out yet since the 149 is torn apart ready to be sanded for painting. Good luck with your 149.

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.
