Dang, that carb must be even worse than what you can see in the pictures/video. I probably coulda gotten away with using the 107's original carb but I like the shiny Chinesey's look on it. Besides, the screws that hold the choke and throttle plate on those always seem to shear off 100% of the time, it seems as though they did something to the threads to keep them from coming off. Sure don't make it easy when you want to rebuild one though...

Or maybe it's just my bad luck?

The threads are intentionally braded over, so if the little screws come loose
they won't wind up imbedded in the head and/or piston top.
a small file or small stone on a die grinder, will take care of the braded thread,
allowing normal removal of the butterfly screws, both choke & throttle shafts.

Hey so it wasn't just my bad luck! I knew something didn't look normal on those screws. Woulda been helpful to know a while ago, but that are you gonna do eh? At least I know that now for when I start looking into whether or not my 147's carb is saveable.

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.
