    149 with 44” deck cutting heights

    Guys I wanted to let you know I was able to get my 149 with 44 inch deck to a cutting high of 4 1/4 inches. I was able to do this by changing the solid lift link to a shorter one, and there was enough thread left on the adjustable lift link on the other side to level both sides of the deck...

    149 deck height with hydraulic lift.

    Just wanted to let the guys know that I have been able to get my 149 with 44” deck to a mowing height of 4.250”. I was able to do this by finding a shorter lift link for one side and there was enough thread on the adjustable link on the other side to level both sides to just above 4 inches. The...

    44C Gator Blades

    I have new information regarding the 44” Gator blades. I told with Oregon and they do make a 15” Gator blade that is exact except the it has a 1/2” center hole instead of a 3/4”. So I will be buying those and enlarging the hole to 3/4”. This is a G3 blade so it doesn’t have the fusion tungsten...

    Model 149 with a 44” mowing deck

    I’m going to check to see if I have the correct size lift links. Its total size is 3.5” I can lift the deck higher by hand easily. The other link is adjustable and I do have some threads left. I know these links come in different sizes. If I do have the correct link I can have the link...

    44C Gator Blades

    Gary, that’s an idea of cutting down the 16” blades. I believe the blades are made of tungsten carbine, so I’ll have to get a diamond wheel for my grinder. And I’ll do my best to re-sharpen the old set with a diamond file. A regular file doesn’t work on the tungsten carbine cutting edge. I...

    44C Gator Blades

    I have Gator style blades on my 44C deck. I'm trying to buy a new set and I can't seem to find a 15" Gator style blades online. Oregon don't make these blades. I can't remember where I bought the ones that I have on the mower. The blades have a logo of a gator stamped in the blades... I...

    Model 149 with a 44” mowing deck

    I found the deck height in the manuals that stated a 4” height depending on deck and tire combination just like you did. It didn’t state which deck or tires you could achieve a 4 inch cutting height with ? I have been able to get 3.5/8” and that’s it. I decided not to mess with 50 year old...

    Model 149 with a 44” mowing deck

    Thanks for your input guys. I contacted an old friend of mine who has a 129 with a 42” deck. With the manual lift he can easily extend beyond 4” cutting heights. I didn’t believe I could get past 3.5” but I hoping I was missing something. My last resort would be to exceed the tire pressures...

    Model 149 with a 44” mowing deck

    Item 7 does have some wear where it rides on the rockshaft. Nothing compared to what I have seen on other cubs. The front forks look good. I’m not 100% certain the deck was made to reach 4.5” ? Can someone confirm that a 149 with a 44” deck is capable of 4.5”

    Model 149 with a 44” mowing deck

    According to what I can find I’m supposed to get a cutting height of 4.5” from my 44” deck. After trying everything I can think of the best I can get is 3.5”. The deck is level fore and aft and side to side. The hydraulic ram.seems to be extended all the way out. Any suggestions guys ??

    Mike L. Glad to see others are aware of the great benefits of Daves PointsSaver. I like the LED feature that allows you to use the static method of setting the points. A feeler gauge is just that, a feel and everybodys is different. Even a timing light is not 100% accurate on these K series...
