    That's a lot to digest lol thank you! Off topic...The more I look at the aftermarket exhaust on my 149, the more I wonder why the previous owner didn't put something less obnoxious on it. From what I can tell, the he left the curved pipe that goes into the motor in place, cut it halfway up, put...

    Thank you!! I've never hooked up on of these. How long to get it all hooked up on my 149?

    Thanks for the welcome!! I'm in Bloomsburg. Probably an hour and 45 from you. Can you link me to this? It will attach to my 149?

    I'm hoping since mine was cared for like a newborn, that it's just entering its adolescents!

    Here's one I just found. $600 for that or mine? Choose wisely 🤣 Amazing these things treated good, bad or in between, still keep on mowing! You must have to drown these things to make them die. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/imoJQQxsuUuGs6dT/?mibextid=kL3p88

    Good to know. I don't plan on using the 149 heavily. Maybe every 2-3 mows vs my 2020.

    You're secret is safe with me! Can I say on a side note how great of a forum this is. The knowledge on here is amazing. The passion we all seem to have for these machines is pretty cool.

    Could the change be the bean counters trying to scheme up ways to make more money on repairs and parts? Longer grease intervals means shorter life. BMW tried this mentality with the e46 models. Lifetime manual transmission fluid. Even put a sticker on the transmission to make you feel better...

    Manual calls for grease every 16 hours.

    Newly Acquired 149: Modified Deck

    Any advice on my previous question about greasing my spindles? I did notice in the 3 hour mow, they did lose just enough grease to grab dirt and grime. Nothing I can scrape off but a tiny bit did sling out. Should I give a pump of the grease gun before each mow? I don't wanna over do it either...

    Deck holes are now officially patched. In 48 hours, after the pc-7 cures, I'll primer and paint. It's not beautiful but the bleeding has stopped.

    Gorgeous 169!! I did see that Carlisle makes the ribbed tires. They're actually in my cart for when I'm ready to pull the trigger. Not sure if I'll do it this season or next. I can't have the XT2 thinking I'm giving this 149 all the love. If she thinks that, she'll break down, and her 3 year...

    I'll definitely be ordering one of those. You wouldn't by chance be able to take a pic of the lip on the bowl could you, a nice close up? That's the one thing I noticed when replacing my bowl gaskets is the lip was slightly pitted in certain areas on the lip due to gas leaking in between the...

    Very glad to hear he's still around. I understand the Cub fever. The only cure is more Cubs lol

    Will the cc specialists know which 50" would fit on my '73 149? Or am I constrained using a 48"?

    Proud New Owner of a 1973 Cub Cadet 149

    I'd still take my one owner any day lol. Would be cool if I could find the newer 50" deck. Are they still floating around? On a side note, I cleaned up my mower today via my echo leaf blower and some microfiber towels. I did notice a small amount of grease/dirt accumulated on the deck by each...

    When I take it off I'll be sure and let you know. Mine was stamped 30 inside, as I suspected.
