Model 100?
 

First off CURSE YOU ALL!!! :bash:

The tractors are starting to multiply in the yard despite my best efforts to keep them at bay.
I was out working on the 147 when a guy stopped in the driveway and said he spotted the 147 from the road and wanted to get a better look. Then he told me he had an old cub in his yard that was his grandpa's and wanted to know if I'd be interested in it since I obviously could fix up old tractors. So I hopped in his truck and went to take a look. Turns out he lives like 2 minutes from me. So we get there and it appears to be a Model 100. Shes rough and has been sitting for about 10 years but he said if I was interested he'd load it and drop it off for free. That's my favorite price so of course I couldn't say no and now the fleet grows :/
But I have a neat tractor and a new buddy/neighbor so thats pretty cool.
The gear lever seems to be jammed and it's in a gear (or maybe 2 gears as I have read a little and that seems to be fairly common on these) So I guess it's going to require a little digging. I got it to crank very weakly a couple of times on a fresh battery and then it quit and only clicks.

What do y'all think... Model 100? Worth saving? Too rough?

YUP, it looks like a 100. Good catch.

:ThumbsUp:

They aren’t making them like that anymore I say SAVE IT!

Worth saving for sure. Good grab.

A free set of round fenders.....GEESH!!~
And you can still sleep at night???!!!

A worthwhile score. Free is always a good price and a set of fenders to boot. After sitting in the elements for 10yrs the trans is probably full of water and rusted hence shifter wont move. Clean up all the electrical connections and give it a tune up and I bet it fires right up. I've gotten them in worse shape then that. Good luck:beerchug:

Nice score, I agree that it’s worth saving.

Good price for a desireable model with the hard to find fenders:bigeyes: definitely worth saving:ThumbsUp:

Can't beat the price and with a new friend. Someone really molested that front end though to fit that muffler--YIKES!! As already mentioned, clean up the connections and with a new battery and clean points, it should fire up. May want to take the S/G off and open it up in case it is full of water, before you try starting it up again. It will be a fun project to work on. Just be sure to buy your new friend dinner sometime and show it to him once you get it going!
