Default Frankenstein 147
Got my 147 all buttoned up, mowed with it this evening and it's awesome! I took the pto off a 125 on it, a 48" deck and mule drive off the same 125 on it, got an electric lift from a 127 on it. Still need a decent hood and grill screen but mows very well and has a lot of power. Very happy with this machine, might make this one my primary mower

Hoods got a big weld spot at hinge and holes in top, with a new one and a grille should be a decent looking machine. The deck will be cleaned up just wanted to see how it performed first.

Thanks! Got the rear fluid changed, everything on it is in A1 mechanical shape. I really like mowing with a gear drive but this one is a lot of fun

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.
