Oh the joy! Got the lift fixed.
managed to drill and then used a screw extractor to remove the bottom half of the pushbutton. The rod came out the bottom. Re-welded the "J" back on, and reinstalled.

picked up a decent fender (from a 1450 actually). one minor weld repair, knocked out a couple dents and sanded it down to bare metal or, in some places, to good solid original paint. here it is with a coat of Rustoleum Rust Restorer. I've been using this as a way to prevent future rust that might be missed in the wire brushing/sanding process.

Some progress this weekend--finished painting the fenders and wheel weights (also red). Also pulled the K321A from the 147, got it partially cleaned up, and ready to pull the head and see what I've got. It ran (or started at least) on starter fluid. It has a Walbro carb. Not happy to find that. I haven't had to deal with one yet, and I've heard they aren't very good. Is that true? My 108's replacement k301 engine had a walbro on it, too, and I figured the 147 wouldn't--as every other one of my cubs has had a carter carb. Do I continue with the walbro or look for a carter carb?

Painted (silver metallic) a pair of 8 inch wide by 12 inch rims, and mounted a pair of Carlisle 23-10.50-12 Tru Power ags. Put tubes in these and will fill with windshield washer fluid.

Got a line on more parts from a 1450--I think I'm going to change out my rear axles. The discs are warped and rub the brake pads when they spin. While I'll have to drain the rear end again to replace the axles, I think it's the right thing to do.

For some reason a few of my pics won't upload. so there's just one of the fenders.

Nice work on the fenders.

I have a Walbro carb on the K301 in my red 149/129. The engine came from my 100 and it ran great with the Walbro. If I were you, I'd leave the carb on it as long as it runs good.

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.
