    WNY Cubs: 106, 107, 147, and Original

    Awesome collection, I'd look for an oil bathed air cleaner for the Original, it's how they came and in many ways are superior although prevent starter fluid.

    149 rock shaft question

    Thanks, @IHinIN . I didn't mess with the left side, as it seems to go perfectly with the right side deck lift that has the hydraulic cylinder attached. When I lift it, the outer (to the bucket), it glides perfectly 70% of the way, then doesn't conform with the rest of the shaft. I don't have...

    149 rock shaft question

    I can't seem to get full lift on the lift arm, the inside of the rock shaft both deck lifts lift all the way and level. The lift arm starts with the hydraulics, but at a certain point stops turning. I have a Johnny Bucket, Jr (custom made 20 years ago), could it be the weight? I don't know the...

    Without a doubt, this is the most tastefully done red IH Cub Cadet I've ever seen. Very clean looking. In a few years I'll rebuild my 149, hope you don't mind I use your 129 as inspiration.

    149 that just clicks

    Ok! So I purchased a new wiring harness from Porch (thanks +Oak ) and it is totally worth the money. I also replaced all grounds and positive cables. The problem now is the key still doesn't start, nor click. Turning the key does send a pulse to my great wire on the voltage regular (I can't...

    149 that just clicks

    Thanks, Oak. I found the Harness there. I am going to try replacing the the big red wire and ground wire first, but if that doesn't do it, I'm getting the harness.

    149 that just clicks

    I have a 1974 Cub Cadet 149. For a long time, when trying to start it would click, I would giggle the wires and it'd fire off. Now, no matter the amount of jiggling and sliding it just clicks. I put a hot wire on the the starter and made it turn over, but still no start. I Plan on replacing the...

    1962 Cub Original clutch slipping (not pto)

    Thanks, Mike. I will get under it this weekend to investigate. You gave me more to look at. I'm thinking the clutch isn't making great contact with the shaft. It looked weak from the side. I will report back.

    1962 Cub Original clutch slipping (not pto)

    I'm having a hard time searching for this, most everything that comes up is for the pto clutch. I recently traded a Savage .270 that I hadn't used since I sighted 12 years ago in for a 1962 Cub Original. I watched him mow with it, and it mowed nice! 38" deck and skinny tires looks way better...

    Cub 149 Speed control

    Just to add, my pic was from my service manual :roflol:! But it's all good :beer_chug:. I find much value in this forum, and that's why I became a supporter after just one post. I plan to use this resource, and keep it going, for years to come. I am mechanically inclined, but sometimes the...
