Some progress this weekend--finished painting the fenders and wheel weights (also red). Also pulled the K321A from the 147, got it partially cleaned up, and ready to pull the head and see what I've got. It ran (or started at least) on starter fluid. It has a Walbro carb. Not happy to find that. I haven't had to deal with one yet, and I've heard they aren't very good. Is that true? My 108's replacement k301 engine had a walbro on it, too, and I figured the 147 wouldn't--as every other one of my cubs has had a carter carb. Do I continue with the walbro or look for a carter carb?
Painted (silver metallic) a pair of 8 inch wide by 12 inch rims, and mounted a pair of Carlisle 23-10.50-12 Tru Power ags. Put tubes in these and will fill with windshield washer fluid.
Got a line on more parts from a 1450--I think I'm going to change out my rear axles. The discs are warped and rub the brake pads when they spin. While I'll have to drain the rear end again to replace the axles, I think it's the right thing to do.
For some reason a few of my pics won't upload. so there's just one of the fenders.
