Everett Buck; I bought my first cub cadet back in the mid 60s because i needed a lawn mower.I have never owned any other brand. I have enjoyed working with them and repairing them every since. My work horse is a 147 and my mowing tractor is a 169. Cub Cadets is hard to find in my area. If I lived in the midwest i would spend all my money collecting them. ENJOY.

jason, who in the world painted those front rims.
The tabs on the front grille housing that the headlights mount to on the 1811 were broke when I got it. I used jb weld on them and they are still holding out fine. It's repainted now and I can't even tell which tabs were broke. Also when I was out of town with my expedition, I discovered a small crack in the transfer case, I wanted to get it back to my hometown area so I put jb weld on it, I was going to have it repaired/replaced but it held up so good I left it alone. that was 30,000 miles ago. I'm such a cheap a?s.

There's a Grump around here doesn't think much of - as he calls it -"JB don't Weld", but you've been a member long enough to look out for yourself ....
More "stealth winter" here in Central Michigan - another three inches or so overnight. I'm actually considering putting a blade on the el smoko 149 and shoving some snow around rather than throwing it with the 129 - take out all that inner aggression that's building up..

Buck, Jason, we call it Yellow and White fever, no known cure, only temporary relief when you acquire another Cub Cadet or accessory.

thats a great idea,the ziplock bags!so far most of what ive took apart ive screwed back into the proper place.I looked up the part!I broke the tab/connection on the rod that connects to the brake peddal for the brake centering cam.there is a pin that connects it together that didnt take to well being hit with a hammer,all that to say im going to find a new way to take pins out!I have two of them spirol pins that have to come out now but ill be a bit more reserved this time.
