Looking really nice!

Can't wait to actually find time to do some work to the 147 and get it ready for paint.

Wish mine were that far along. I'm still looking for a fender pan. Mine's pretty shot. Rusted out at the foot pads, right where it would be very difficult to repair and have it turn out well.

Painted the frame tonight. I thought I had done a good job. I held that gun every which way, but I just don't have enough good light. After I took the pictures, the flash shows what I missed. The problem is, I don't know how I'm gonna get to some of it, even if I use a detail gun:











At least the seat mount came out nice:

To get to some of them spots you might have to wait till the paint is all the way dry and then flip the frame over so you can get the underside of the frame rails.

After seeing the pictures, I went back out there and grabbed my trouble light and went around it. All you could see with it was the side of the brake pedal was light and the side of the lift cylinder bracket. Right or wrong, I mixed up a little bit of paint and shot those areas and tried to get under the rails another shot and down by the hydro and the lift valve.

I'm gonna leave it alone. It's not a show tractor and at least the primer is better than rust!!:biggrin2.gif:

Not today. I'm not taking any more pics of the frame and it will have to set up a good 2 days before I can put the wheels back on and move it. I need to wet sand the white parts tonight and replace some of my outtake filters. I'm getting paint mist trying to seep out the cracks of the paint booth.

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.
