New 147
My Grandpa who was a retired farmer bought a new Cub 147 back in 71' with the snow blade, mower deck, A-1 Tiller with dual extensions, and a Brinly cultivator. He used it to maintain his one acre yard (almost half of which was garden) for two years before he died of a massive heart attack. At a young age my dad used to let me drive it around the yard almost every week after he would cut the grass at our house (it was nice that we lived in the same subdivision, so we borrowed it all the time) As I got older I grew up with this tractor mowing our acre yard. When my Grandma died in 1989 we inherited the 147 and since I was getting older (11 yrs old) it became my job to mow the yard (which I gladly accepted). I was still too Young in my Dad's eyes to plow the drive in the winter time, or till the garden in the spring (I still think he just had too much fun doing this!), but in a few short years I was able to wrangle those tasks away from Dad as well, and he rarely got any seat time. In 1997 we sold the house and moved closer to town and between the 147 smoking and needing a rebuild and now having away smaller yard my Dad decided to sell it and become a total suburban sellout lol! Needless to say I was not happy at all, but as I no longer lived at home anyhow I wasn't using it. I always knew that if I had a yard needing a tractor, a 147 would find it's way into the garage. Well I've been kinda looking off and on for the last few years and when I came across this showroom fresh 70' model I had to have it!! So here it is,
It has a recent rebuild, and was still in the original owners family! The best part is that I only paid $450!! I was kinda looking forward to doing a rebuild on one, but just could not pass it up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
