other than the hood pivot point repair, it looks to be unadulterated.
Did they use vinyl covered wiring by then or is that a new harness?
Deck looks very good too.
Good find for sure.
You certainly did not snooze on that one.

Old,
You did real good on the nice 147 and implements!
I have some info on here about the 147R I restored. Thread "Added more IH equipment"
Your tractor is very clean and in great shape! Ready to go to work! These are the big blocks of the narrow frame series! You wont find one much nicer than the one you just got.

Regards,
Chris

I searched this form and didn't find much posting about the 147 model, do many here have one?

I like how the factory cut and modded the frame to get the 14hp Kohler to fit also. The next models were the wide frames. That fixed the motor fitting problem..

I don't know about the harness..

The other Cub shown with the receiver, not the ball, is a QL 1050.

I will have to do some body repair on rear fender where the chains once caught it. The dash needs some work also. I don't see any other repairs or mods done to it other than the general spraying around with a rattle can..

What a great New year! I've got a 147 and love it. I hope you didn't haul it all the way home with the winch on the mule drive...

I put it out of the weather today. It started up instantly and purred really nice. No creep from the hydro. I LIKE it. It is snowing here now. I have spent most of the afternoon bead blasting the rear rims on my O. Getting the old tires off was a pain. I need to get it on it's feet so I can continue putting it back together.. Overall a good day. Spent the morning with a doctor and tomorrow I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM for a couple cat-scans... Then I will be back working on the O.. Can't wait.. All the cubs together (minus the 4 I have here) looks impressive.

John

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.
