Kevin, all, I've already got enough interest to make it worth moving forward with getting QAxx/QAxxA/QAxxB decals made up.

Kraig-
That Whiplash guy is the guy who made up the decals for my daughter's sleeve-hitch plow. He was good because he listened to exactly what I wanted.

Patrick, WELCOME!

There is a lock out mechanism on the 149 hydraulic lift that is usually set to float but can be positioned to provide down pressure. You'll need to fabricate or purchase the lockout pin. I'll see if I can dig up a better photo of the pin.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Here's photos of a couple different versions of the float lockout pin:

I believe this one is for use on a 149 and other 1x9 and QL Cub Cadets.

I believe this one is for use on the 82 Series Cub Cadets

Kraig-

The 82 series tractors use a bolt to lock out the float function; that piece is what connects the hydraulic cylinder to the rockshaft.

Charging question for the old timers out there.

My snow thrower cub is not charging. The first thing I did was test the generator. I pulled the belt, energized the motor, and shorted the F to ground. The motor slowed telling me the field is good, at least this is what i think it tells me.

I went through the manual talking about adjusting the regulator. I'm using a digital meter and the values are jumping all around, but it looks like its high enough.

Questions.
1. Do you need an analog meter to check regulator voltages.

2. Is the gen test I performed good enough to test for a good generator?

3. How do you adjust the cutout relay. The manual says to adjust the closing voltage, and to be sure its 0.5 volts less then the current-voltage regulator unit setting. How do you measure the closing voltage.

The 1650 has roared to life! Turned out to be funked up wiring from the PO. Thanks PO!!!!

It has forward but no reverse. Is this a bad valve on the hydro pump?

 

[bseverns]

I got a box of goodies from extreme motorsports today!!!

Thanks Aaron, the parts look great!

Goin back to snow thrower decals, I referbed my 42 thrower last month, took pics, but they didn't turn out to well,did in the garage and the lighting was bad hafta wait for a sunny day, anyway, I found International decals for the sides at Theison, they were inexpensive and look good

Kraig - Oh Keeper of the Photos - have you got any other pics of the "Surrey with the Fringe on Top". The photo you posted shows mounting on the sides of the frame. I'm sure I've seen them mounted on the rear somehow, and in your pic you can see some rear brackets, which are still shown in the parts list but NLA. (I know Jim Chabot found one of the canopys NOS).

Kevin/Kraig/Art,
Might want to get a current catalog. I 'm looking at the black 8 1/2" INTERNATIONAL sticker for $1.50 and the black and white for $3.00.

 

[pathobrien]

Matt, thanks for the correction on the hydraulic cylinder pin.

Patrick, electric lift or Hydraulic lift the float lock out is the same for both. Your 149 should have the ability to provide down force, just install a pin as shown in the photo and description I posted.

Hydro, the bracket shown at the rear is for preventing roll overs, basic wheelie bars. The fringe top canopy only mounts onto the wide frame and QL series and mounts at the front as shown in the photo I posted. Yes I too recall hearing that Jim found a NOS canopy.

Tom, where did you get the catalog?

 

[hsimon]

Now that you guys are talking about torque wrenches it reminds me that I need to send my two in for recalibration.

Vince- I would say that Art "hot glued" the head bolts on that 104!!!

 

[gcoleman]

Kraig, your top photo is correct for the wideframes, dont know enough about the spread frames to pass judgement on the second picture. I got lucky, my 149 came with the plate installed. It proves handy when dozing or using the lift arms of the three point to jack the tractor up.

 

[pathobrien]

Hi I just looked in on parts tree and it shows the part lock out but of course not available so I will make my own
again thank you for your good help

Patrick O.
Man it's a good thing that everyone that looks on partstree doesn't go by what they show and say about what's available!

In case your not catching what I'm saying.
They ARE available, ask a few of our sponsors.

Are the round fender the correct fender for a cub 71 or the square type that a 1x2 have? my cub 71 has none and I would like to find the correct fenders for it.

 

[hsimon]

Thurman ~ the round ones are the correct fenders
