CUB CADET 149

[Thomas]

I looked at this tractor today, it was sitting along the road for sale. Can someone please tell me what engine this tractor should have in it. This had a 10 HP Kohler and I am sure it should be a 14 HP?? Thanks guys.

 

[wh cc guy]

14HP Kohler 512cc 1 cyl gas

 

[Thomas]

Thank you very much

It could be a 109 with a 149 dash plate. What color is the hood stripe? Serial number kind code would
tell what it was originally built as.

 

[Thomas]

no it has the 149 hood on it and the guy that has it said his brother replace the engine I talked to him earlier today the thing has only a snow plow on it it's a hydrostat with a hydraulic lift for the plow but the clutch assembly is not on the engine nor does he have a mule Drive or mower deck for this thing I laughed at him when he said he wanted $500 then I proceeded to tell him what all was wrong with it then he says well I'll take 250 and I said I'll give you a hundred anyway I was just curious about the engine I thought it should be a 14 horsepower thank you very much guys

There is a guy near New Castle that has a ton of IH parts and he is a good guy to deal with He will have anything you may need. Place is called Patton Acres 724-730-6254 mon-fri...

 

[Thomas]

Yeah I know that place but with a 10 horsepower engine in what should be a 14 I'm not going to spend that kind of money for this with all the stuff that's missing and by the way the ignition switch is hanging out the side of the tractor choke cable is froze out there just too many things wrong with this thing I'm not putting that many hours in this thanks anyway

 

[kphill]

Yea, it might work pretty hard with that 10 horse... I have a 100 and a 102 and they are great engines but I know what you mean...

 

[Thomas]

yes I also have a 100 I'm working on I have an 1811 that I bought new in 1990 I love that tractor I also have a Z-Force 50 zero turn .
also do you know anyting about 1362 model I looked at yesterday and also in 1862 but you guys should only needs a fuel pump but I'm not real sure because this place is a scrapyard but the 1362 the starter bolts are stripped out I believe this is an aluminum block I don't know what the engine is maybe you can tell me is there enough meat in there that they can be drilled out and retap for the next size holes

 

[Thomas]

I should maybe clear that up a little bit I meant to say this starter mounting bolts that go into the block of the engine are stripped out thanks

 

[kphill]
