Terry...ur breather cover could be gummed up over the years. Book also says there is a breather hole that could be blocked, its somewhere behind the cover plate that covers the ends of the valve stems.

Ed,
Just make sure the oil hole in the rod cap faces the camshaft, or else the motor will quickly sieze up.

Say!
is your engine cold or noisy?
Insulate the hood!

I really like the looks of these tires too.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, nice! I like the tires.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Randy, this is what a Cub Cadet 3 point hitch looks like.

Here it is installed.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Randy, then, to hook up most implements you'll need a Brinly sleeve hitch adapter:

Here's what it looks like on the tractor:

Chalie, what type o tires are those in ur pics???

 

[dfrisk]

CHARLIE - You better try to PLOW with those slid-steer tires on and let Me know how they pull. I almost put a pair of them on My plowing 72.. But after putting the 4-ply. 26-12.00 X 12's on the 982 I bet the 23-8.50 Skidder tires would REALLY be a PITA to mount. I bet You can run them with Zero air pressure too...haha run flat tires....Think I'll politely decline on the hood insulation...... But You wouldn't have a better shot of that H or M in the background?

Greetings!

Like the pics. Regarding 3 point hitch and Brinly sleeve hitch adapter. Is this the same for similar for a 1650?

 

[gcoleman]

How do I change the starter gen belt out on my 149?????

 

[kmcconaughey]

Eric, yes it is very similar. The Brinly sleeve hitch adapter would be the same it's the bar and cast iron top link that are different. Here's what the one for your 1650 woud look like.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Glen, loosen the 2 bolts on the lower bracket for the starter/generator, then loosen the one bolt that is on the tension bracket for the starter/generator. This will allow the starter/generator to pivot towards the engine allowing you to remove the old belt, assuming of course that it's not broken. Then move the PTO engagement lever all the way forward and slip the old belt out from between the PTO clutch and the engagement button. Then slip the new belt in, position it onto the two pulleys then pivot the starter/generator to tighten up the belt and tighten the 3 bolts that were previously loosened. Oh and don't forget to move the PTO engagement lever to the OFF position.

I guess I could have just posted this.....

 

[gcoleman]

thanks Kraig, I'll have to get a new belt, any brand suggestions?

 

[kduffy]

Glen C.

How about a genuine Cub Cadet belt, part number IH-401960-R1. Otherwise I would go with a Gates Green Powerrated belt or an Oregon powerrated belt. The belt is size, 3/8 X 31 11/16. Just my couple of cents

 

[gcoleman]

Thanx Kevin, the next thing that I will have to get is a sleeve hitch for my 149, IF ANYONE WOULD RESPOND TO MY WANT AD

, anyway, Steve Blunier has offered me a nos 1 for $125, and a complete one used one for $100, but that's a little too steep for me right now, I'll see if I can talk him down a little, Glen.

 

[enei]

Thanks, Kraig

 

[digger]

That's not my tractor, but it is on greedbay right now pretty close to Bryan.

 

[aschumacher]

Glen C. If you go with Gates belt, you have to get 3/8x32. Gates doesnt make fractional belts.

CHARLIE - Actually a nice looking tractor.... but it needs NEW front tires.....just because they fit doesn't make them right....
