    Still having trouble

    OK, out of pure curiosity, I clicked on "digger's" link and found that reading the instructions pretty much explains how to avoid this problem. Page 13, last paragraph of the Detaching instructions. Also study the illustrations on page 14. I may have read these same intructions decades ago and...

    Still having trouble

    I've never had this problem and can't imagine what is making this happen, pictures please. I only loosen the belt tensioner enough to get the belt off and as I stated before, no problems with removing or reinstalling the mount. It seems like a simple fix to adjust the pulley down further. I...

    Dragged nother 1 in.

    Me too! Only it was my parents that gave a Craftsman set when I was 16, 57 years ago. I'll admit some of it has been lost and replaced, and added on to.

    Still having trouble

    I don't understand this post at all. In all the years I've owned my 149 with a QA42A thrower and a 123 with a QA42 thrower before the 149, I've never encountered this problem. It's a little difficult to get to get everything to line up so the latch locks but never any pulley interference. In the...

    I suspect this is an attempt to prank us.

    Cub prices

    It seems to me that all metal Cub Cadets prices, MTD or not have risen considerably since the covid bs, at least in the part of the US where I live. I see asking prices but there's usually no way of knowing the actual selling price or even if they actually sell. I have been looking for quite...

    New member looking for parts

    So let me get this straight, the original buyer bought the mower at a discount and couldn't get the batteries replaced. You paid the original buyer more than what he paid for it knowing he couldn't get the batteries replaced (you didn't buy it from a dealer). Now you can't get the batteries...

    "The Original owner tried ti file a claim and they would not help him either." If you knew this when you bought it, then you would have nothing to complain about. If you found out afterwards and they offered a full refund then the only complaint would be that you weren't fully informed of the...

    169 mystery part for throttle cable

    I agree. The picture looks like my 149. if I remember right, if you loosen the bolt holding the bracket you can then align the cable so it is straight.

    Carb adjustment???

    I personally would certainly get the throttle lever adjusted right, rather than put up with engine stalling at idle and otherwise running rich. There is an idle speed adjustment screw and an idle mixture screw to adjust along with the high-speed mixture screw. It is impossible for any...

    I suppose I should also say that I view this web site with a laptop and use uBlock Origin. It's free to download and use and apparently works well. The right side of my screen is all a blank yellow with only the "latest Post" section at the top right. I don't believe anyone should feel...

    My first thought too. If you're having a problem with unwanted ads, turn on the ad blocker and stop clicking on everything that pops up on other sites. Don't click anything in your spam or junk email, and most importantly, stop unsubscribing from unknown emails, that only gets you more ads and...

    QA42 snow blower sprocket assemble

    Is it just me or is everyone not seeing how worn the chain adjuster bracket is? It seems to look like (to me) the u-joint yoke has worn the bracket into the bearing. I know that a washer can be added to help fill the gap and I know the thread question is about sprockets but I believe that is not...

    14 horse in a 149 leaking oil

    The reason for not being ''open minded" as we age is that we have been there done that. It's called experience, learning from past mistakes and not making the same mistakes over and over and expecting a different outcome.

    Filling the gas tank would be pretty challenging too.

    Parts For Sale Rear Tires

    I recently bought a Carlisle tire for my IH trailer. I noticed that on the tire it was molded in, "Made in China". Still seems to be much better quality than the no-name or Hirun China made tire I bought before that. The Carlisle still looks good and holds air a year later. The Hirun didn't last...

    Flat trailer tire

    I bought a tire for my CC trailer on Amazon without paying attention to the brand name because it looked like the same Carlisle brand that was on my trailer. By the next Spring the tire was flat so I aired it up, bubbles formed all over the tire and it would go flat in a short time. I looked...

    Selling my 169 and attachments

    After a quick look at the pictures, I see that the deck and mule drive are just sitting under the tractor. Another shows that the complete air filter is missing, another pic shows the hood and grille are off. With that being said I still don't get how selling this and buying another would be...

    Spindle (knuckle) swap

    I have to ask because there's no mention of it, and I wonder if others who want to do this mod realize it. Obviously if you use a larger diameter spindle then, you have to drill the axle? (Asking for a friend Haha!)

    And just a metal tab to the spark plug to push and hold to shut it off.
