Mike M: The number you posted is broken down as follows:
205 = IH Kind code for a Garden Tractor (Cub Cadet).
0047 = IH factory code for a Model 149
U = manufactured in a US plant (Louisville Ky, in this case).
471493 = actual one-up serial number produced in May 1973 as Roland said.
PS: Welcome to the Forum.
