Charlie,
Neat pic of the 149, but that isn't "The New McCormick Place" That's Grant Park near Buckingham Fountain.

That also looks like a 147 to me.

I was going by what the Press Release said that was attached to the pic.

OK I have a question for you original guys. I have an O with second gear striped. I thought I could tack the gear out of a 104. I have for parts. But the second gear in the 104 is slitty bigger! ( the O has 16 teeth and the 104 has 19 teeth.) My question is can i change the mane gear on the drive shaft? (is the shaft the same size) it will speed up second gear? Thanks again, Mike

i looking to fab one up out of a snow blade i have laying around from an old lawn tractor... i think it would end up being more like an IH rear blade, who thinks it would be better to attach like an IH one or a Brinly type?

Digger: That probably is a 147 in the publicity photo. You see, the Jenkens C-48 wasn't new, only the 149 they wanted to talk about. Look closely at the attached Jenkens Brochure and you will see a Cub Cadet 125 lurking down on the right side...

Charlie, I reread the news release and got a slight laugh. The 149 is described as an 'air-stream design'! Ya right!

<font size="-2">Or does that mean your in the air-stream when you ride it?</font>

Charlie, Thanks for the contest

I went with the 149 because that was their largest new one to come out around that time I think.
