Runs real nice. I got it from the grandson of the original owner.

Came with a blade and chains.

Grandpaw made a carrier for the rear to add weight. I think it must have held square pavers or a bucket with weight added.

The electric lift works great.

Has a set of chains also.

Paid $375.

I checked CL and it was just posted. An hour later it was loaded up and paid for.

nice 147, good price too, looks to have been spray painted at one time , congrats:beerchug:

That's real nice, great score. I like that you're branching out from the q/l's with the O and now this n/f, your collection is swelling. Nice e lift and lights option, looks great. That's a sweet price for what you got, congrats

PS I always like seeing the frame cutout for the ole k321 to shoehorn in there, awesome

Was the lift an option or did it come with this model as standard?

I searched this form and didn't find much posting about the 147 model, do many here have one?

I like how the factory cut and modded the frame to get the 14hp Kohler to fit also. The next models were the wide frames. That fixed the motor fitting problem..

Nice score. Where did you find that one?

Great snag! Hey, did grandpa make that ball hitch that was mounted to the top of the rear end? I'm actuality looking for something like that.

I found it about 20 miles from me.

The rear hitch setup was indeed made by grandpaw . Looks real easy to make and use the rear plate bolts to mount..

REAL easy to mount. I put it on for the photos..

I have another that had a receiverhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psd6385e0b.jpg made up to the cub..

Nice find on the 147!
Yes, they came standard with the E-Lift and over 15,000 of them made.

Holy crap what luck
 

Nice score. I love the front end on that series.:beerchug:

Bolt holes? And how does holes stick out?

I'm confused.. :bigthink:
