Hi everyone,
I think I might hold a dubious record for this forum!

What's the longest time between someone joining this forum, and then getting their first Cub Cadet?.. how about
:
twelve years! 
oh well..
I've been into vintage garden tractors and snowblowers for awhile now, and I've been mowing for 10 years with a 1964 Wheel Horse, but I've always wanted a Cub Cadet too..So I've been casually looking and researching Cub Cadets for years, and I already knew what range of models I would like.. but I finally made a dedicated effort to search this Spring..and this 147 popped up locally! I went out yesterday and bought it. Its complete and works!

it's going to become my primary mower, and I might trick it out for snow duty too..(although I already have a small collection of vintage Ariens snowblowers for that..so I'm not sure.) we'll see.
Here she is! I'll probably have some questions for the group..

Thanks!
