Is that a cut hole in the top of the hood so you can add gas without lifting up the hood?

Have not seen that mod before
I didn't cut that hole. Do most 108's not have this hole cut out? My gas cap extends out above the hood so I don't see how this would work without the hole cut.

So you got the light kit from a 149. What is actually needed? Do I have to get a whole new grill or just pop out the top eye sockets? How about wiring? Is it just a standard harness that I plug into and add the lights and switch or is it more involved?

Yep the pretty much spells it out now doesn't it HAHAHA. Thank you!

I like the idea of the wider frame than. As already mentioned it should make things easier to work on. Any reason to not like this?

And for the second question, what was meant by this power plant stuff?

Man I'm so digging this tractor! Went onto Craigslist and found a bunch of them. Have to control myself!!!!

With the NF you can't install a larger engine then a 12 without cutting the frame. The 147 was the only NF that had this mod dome from the factory. The 82 series allow for even more access.

OK good deal. Don't see me changing engines anytime soon but glad to know that working on this old girl will be a little easier for this new guy

I thank you for taking the time to answer my novice level questions. I don't mean to be a pain to anyone or pull the collected IQ of the forum down to much

the hood has no hole for gascap on standard 108's. You must have a differnt tank on there from prev owner

I bought off fleabay a working pair of headlights/rims and sheetmetal panel that bolted right in when I removed my non-headlightpanel.
I needed to also buy a vintage cub cadet light switch.

you neeed to add wire and inline fuse, and tie into the ammeter to power the headlights. there was sa diagram posted a few weeks ago for 108 wiring if you search the threads on here

I love how IH changed the design from narrow frame to wide frame for ease of working and not having to cut the frame for a larger engine, but I grew up with a NF and enjoy it. I love having a 147 with a cut out for a larger engine. To each their own.

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.
