I believe that was the case in most of the ones that currently don't have the electric lifts. They have a reputation of being troublesome, so I think a lot of 147s got converted over to manual lifts or hydraulic lifts.

Nice job. It looks great. The chrome steering wheel is a nice touch.

Beautiful 147 mrjeep81 Nice work.
I agree, you have to keep them both just for the pictures. Looks really cool having both of them setting there

I don't know.....if you keep both of them, then keep them separated because I remember having two and then the family kept growing. You know how they are when they get together......they breed like rabbits!!!!

You did a really AWESOME JOB!!! Have fun making the neighbors jealous!!

Thats too funny Cub cadet 123! Lets see, if i change the fenders on the 122, and use the tractors one at a time, she mayyyyyy nevvverrrrr know.

And to think she actually wanted to buy me a new one for our anniversary! And i thought she loved me.

I'd rather have 3 more old ones!

very nice job, shore hope my 72 come out half that nice. on a side note i am curios , i noticed that on the engine the top head baffle is short and only covers half the head. was this the original baffle, i have a k161 with the same thing and and was not shore if this is original to cubs, i have never seen this on other cubs till your post

after thinking about it is the baffle short because of the muffler shield, that goes on, if so why is ther a short one on my 72, the muffler goes out the side, must be something the po did.

That is the top of the fan shroud. the rest of the sheild is the top/ muffler sheild/muffler support. As the air is sucked up through the screened opening at the drive shaft area, the sheilding guides it over the head for proper cooling. There are actually three pieces to the top and a side cover on the generator side of engine. This is the before picture. As for your tractor, just keep adding paint, I have a daughter that hung around too long and looks just "FAB-U LUSSSS!" in Cub yellow and cream. LOL.

Yosemite Sam says I need a trailer so the wife can pull it around behind one of the cub's. I got one, some of you may remember this shot from last year. Thats me in the hat, I if I was the dog and could be typing this, the big dummy driving could affors to be paying somebody ELSE to cut his grass. Come to think about it....if the dog could talk, I wouldn't really need a wife,,,,JUST KIDDING! OW,,,OW..OW... Dang, she can read. Heres a couple shots of the 122 from about an hour ago, broke a belt on the deck and figured while it's off may as well give her a good soaking and a scrubbing.
