first of all this machine its not running. it has been sitting outside for god only knows how long. its pretty rough. my 147 is a hydro so that is the machine i would run the tiller off of. the engine on this 147 probably would need to be overhauled. it would need allot of work and money to get it running again. everything is also rusted up with allot of things non-functional. the k301 block i would get would give me another block that i could rebuild in the future if i needed it.
so i would not be parting out a running tractor but one that has sat outside for probably 15 or 20 years. the engine is probably worn out, but there is no way to tell without digging into it.
im already doing some work for the guy in order to help fund my parts. i replaced the drive shaft pin on a 782, and i worked on a 169. i replaced the starter generator on the 169 and got it running. i had the points, coil, and float bowl gasket. now it still needs a carburetor isolator gasket. it runs, but the carburetor gets too hot. i also changed the oil on a 127. he is giving me 10 bucks an hour cash. its not a whole lot, but getting paid to bring old cubs back to life is pretty sweet.
