Well, never a boring day..
I made progress with switching the rear lift from the 149 to the 169 "ragady ann". I do have a problem she had trouble turning over so I will charge my 3 year old battery that was rated for 1 year and give it a slow charge.
This will give me a day to check and make sure my connections are good after reinstalling the seat pan.
Sorry no pictures
After that I have to switch wheel weights and hook up plow.

FWIW:
Fixing or restoring a cub cadet does cost quite a bit. The parts may seem a little costly, but at least they pretty much can still be purchased!
When I restored my 128 I tried to spend my "hard to come by" money as wisely as possible. It still cost me over 2000 bucks to complete it!
I have found out that "cheaper" parts sometimes mean cheaper parts (you get what you pay for).
My health went south a couple of years ago, and I haven't been able to work on my cubs much.
Expensive parts: $25.00 and up.
Being physically able to use them: Priceless!

Marty - I haven't worn my 129 out yet, I've been trying to for 28 years. And restoration to me would be making it usable, not admirable. That would mean the first rate stuff, not from the Chinaman. Unfortunately, with the way IHC parts last, if Charlie were to depend on my spending, he'd be selling bridges, too...
Cubs only need bridges up my way 3 months out of the year. The other 9 we use the ice to get around!
