    149 with mechanical lift

    Were 149s ever supplied from the factory with mechanical lifts? I know some 169s were but I never heard of a parts shortage causing 149s to be equipped with anything other than the hydraulic lift.

    Welder madness

    I picked up a 129 for parts but realized that with a little effort I could get it working again. However the previous owner should have his welding equipment confiscated for doing this to an IH Cub.

    Cleaning Out 129 Hydro Housing

    I recently picked up a 129 to use as a spare parts machine for my 149s. After messing around with it for a little while I realized it could be a runner with just some TLC, well a good amount of TLC. Regardless I'm not willing to turn a runner into scrap or a pile of parts. The hydro cover...

    Adjustable Ignition Points for Kohler Engines

    A month or so ago someone replied to a thread that was discussing timing and point settings for Kohler engines. If my memory serves me correctly the person said that GM automotive points that have the adjustment screw could be mounted in place of the standard Kohler points which would make gap...

    2 dip sticks?

    I recently picked up a k321a engine that was being parted out of a 147. I'm planning on going through it and using it as a spare for one of my ageing 149s. Both my 149s have a single side dipstick. Why two in the 147?

    Kohler Spark Plug Gap Variation

    I wonder how many IHCC owners of the 1x8 and 1x9 wide frames might have missed the different spark plug gap for the starter/generator versions of the Kohler engines. I recently pulled out the manual to look something up and saw that I had highlighted an item, probably 30 years ago now, that I...

    How to handle flash rust

    I sand blasted some steel parts, then treated hard to blast spots with phosphoric acid. A final water rinse created a very thin rust film called flash rust. What's been other's experience with dealing with flash rust when prepping for painting.

    What are these wheel weights from?

    Several years ago I picked up a 149 parts tractor that had a snow thrower, weights and chains. I cleaned up the weights and have used them for several seasons now. I've never seen this style before and am curious what they would have been on originally. They are heavy going 60 lbs apiece.

    Stubborn decal removal

    I'm sand blasting some sheet metal parts from a rusty QA42A snow blower attachment. I plan on putting replacement decals on because the old ones look pretty beat up. Other than grinding what's the simplest way to get the old decal off? The sand blaster hardly makes a dent in it. A knife blade...

    149 Taillight Lenses

    I've got one of those rare 149s that still has working rectangular rear taillight covers. I haven't been able to find replacement lenses for a long time for my other 149. Anybody know of anyone with old stock or newly manufactured replacements?

    Tractor Lifts

    I'd love to see what DIY approaches people have made towards building tractor lifts for their garage. I've been toying around with the idea of using the winch off of my ATV. I want to make something so I don't have to bend down to garage floor level to work on the lower half of my cubs.

    Homemade Wheel Weights

    I needed another set of wheel weights for a second tractor that I set up for handling snow plowing this season. My brother who passed away a few years ago was an active reloader and left me with 120 lbs of lead. So I figured what the heck let's try making some wheel weights with it. I bought a...

    Cork Gasket Sealant

    I will be replacing the cork gasket on the hydro of one of my 149s. I'd like to know what gasket sealants folks have used that have proven to be successful. I know one side of the gasket already has a tacky adhesive applied so nothing would be used there.

    MY Line UP for 2019/20 Snow Season

    This is what I am tackling the western Massachusetts snow season with this winter. Wish me luck. The less snow the better.

    Snow Thrower Retrofit

    Has anyone been successful in mounting a two-stage snow thrower to a wide frame 129 or 149?

    149 With Spreader

    This is my first posting even though being a Cub 149 owner for almost 40 years. With winter coming thought I'd post a pic of a Swisher spreader that I mounted on one of my 149s a couple of years ago. The hopper works fine as long as the materials are dry and non-clumping. Pelletized materials...
