Help Support IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum:
Well started pushing snow around, about 7"-8", at my new house. I have to push it all down and out the drive now that I moved into the city. My 1250 was working without much problem, barely a wheel spin without chains and having 295lb hanging off the back. But then I caught a crack in the road and destroyed my blade mount. Broke welds and snapped one bar that goes back. Lucky I have my "OT" tractor as a back up. As soon as I can find my camera I will get some pictures. And the snow is still falling.
Steve T's Pic, only SMALLER!
I see we're going to have to put MAJOR restrictions on pic sizes, it gets old fixing pics 3 or 4 times a day.

Tractor # 604229 Looks like below info is correct. Any views on hydro with internal brakes?
Wayne M., Don T.
Myron Bounds posted a couple of years ago on another forum that according to IH Service Bulletin S-3497, dated 7/11/77, Models 1250, 1450, 1650 changed over to internal wet brakes as follows:
S/N 604164 to 605308, internal wet brakes
S/N 605309 to 605726, external brakes
S/N 605727 and above, internal wet brakes.
He added a note that according to the service bulletin, when the rear castings were modified for the internal wet brakes, the mounting holes for the ID plates were also removed.

Steve T. That 1450 looks familiar.
We had two foot drifts on the west side of the driveway. The neighbor had a drift that was fence high that took the 125/snowthrower and a shovel over a half hour to knock down. At noon when I went to get more gas for the Cubs the streets still were bad. Total snow moving time was around 3 1/2 hours. I am still trying to warm up.
This is in front of the garage at 4:00 a.m.
The Keepsake 1650 and blade. I love that tractor.

My snow throwing video.
My wife was operating the camera and changed the angle several times. I have tried to correct it which causes several odd movements.
I know the belt squeals several times. It was brand new and needed adjustment several times. The snow was kind of hard since I used my Cub LoBoy to do some plowing and I used the Cub Cadet to clean up.
This is on a 127 with a CC42 thrower with the speedup pulley from CCSpecialties.

One more snow throwing video. This one shows the distance the snow travels a little better.
The snow was tightly packed from the plow clearing the road. I had to go slow to keep from over stuffing the snow thrower.
If the next snow storm is dry like today's, I will switch back to the original pulley instead of the smaller speed up pulley, just to compare the two.

Mike Fisher,
Nice looking 149,
Why did you bring it out in the snow?
Nice video Paul,
Looks like a good purchase,must have been a nice guy that sold it to you hehehe!!
You should be running that motor at WOT.Are you?
Pretty much that is the way mine was throwing it without the speed up pulley.
I wish my camera was that good,too cheep to buy a new one though.

Yes Lewis, the person who sold that snow thrower was a real gentleman
It was in great shape when I got it from you, I hope I don't ruin it.
I was running WOT. I'll get the tach out this weekend and check the RPMs.

Thanks Kraig,
Yes that is the NLA quiet kit muffler, baffle and carb isolater on the one, I have another kit to install on #2 sure makes them quieter.
I just wanted to thank all the forum members for helping me along they way. I know they look like garage queens but these two 149's have worked hard at the cabin all thier life!
Thanks guys
Paul
