Default New 147 owner from CT

Hi,

We just moved from Florida to Connecticut, and decided it might be a good idea to have a snow removal method to go with our long driveway. I also have a 22 foot sailboat and a 24 foot old Airstream trailer to maneuver around in the driveway, after some poking around, it seems like and old Cub Cadet might do all those things and more. After a number of craigslist possibilities that i was one call to late for, I finally got a nice old 147 with a heavily modified 483u1113 mower deck and a bagger with an impeller mounted to the mower deck and driven by a belt added to an extra pulley, wheel weights and thankfully, little rust.

I am looking for a snowblower and a replacement for the missing PTO handle, and it looks like I will have to repair the PTO clutch and rebuild the carb.

This website seems really terrific, and the Cub Cadet community is one of the biggest reasons I bought one.
