Cub Cadet 149 Season End Review 2022!

It's become a bit of a tradition for me to do a year-end wrap up video on my Cub Cadet 149 since every spring I always attempt to do "something" to improve its overall condition. This year was reasonably smooth.

Sorry, I meant my 102 Cub.

I remember during the service video, you took the gas tank out to grease the steering column, I found out on mine, you can take the bottom plate underneath the column off (4 5/16 bolts I believe) and grease it from there, I think it’s easier than taking the tank out each time.

Whatever works. 👍

[@seanteacherman2385]

Thanks for this video. I am still messing around with my 109. Been trying to figure out how to remove steering wheel as there is a lot of slop in the column and the steering itself. No luck yet getting it off. Keep posting.

I've never had the wheel off of one, but I've heard it can be a nightmare. I don't think there's much more to it than pressure and time.

[@seanteacherman2385]

@@TheBrokenLife Thanks again. I will keep at it.

@@seanteacherman2385 I think I remember a guy telling me that he used a bunch of house wire wrapped evenly around the wheel to make a sling and then picked the tractor off the ground by that sling (in a straight pull direction) with a hoist and just waited for it to pop off. He said it worked...

@@TheBrokenLife Wow, necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks.

@@seanteacherman2385 Good luck with it. 👍

I’m thinking about buying one of these it’s identical to yours but it’s red it’s got a little rake mower roller and something else I forget it’s $600 is that a cheap price for one of thses?

[@TheBrokenLife]

Red would normally indicate it's part of the x82 series, which is about 15 years newer than this one.
I hesitate to say anything about pricing or ownership because these machines can (and are) expensive to maintain and usually everything is worn out on them. If you go into as a hobby then you won't be disappointed.

[@Huntersprojects]

Fantastic I’ll definitely look into it then thanks for the info!

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@Huntersprojects Good luck! 👍
