Default "nother new guy...
Hey Guys,

Name is Steve, Gadgetry is the hobby, or lifestyle I guess.

I grew up on a farm, driving Farmall and International. My Father and Brother still run the farm with all the old Farmalls and a few newer Red ones. I decided it was time to get in the "tractor club" with them, but a Cub is as big as I could validate, and this one is quite large for my little yard but what good is life without a bit of indulgence!

So, about a week ago I picked up a 147



Along with it came a rough looking 42" deck. Needless to say, I've now gotten familiar with all the workings of the deck after a full rebuild, straightening and welding of the broken spindle housing.

After a week of tinkering with the tractor, the steering box is rebuilt and much better, and now with the deck installed, on to solving the last few issues, so I can go cruise around the yard and accomplish something other than just driving and smiling! ( Funny how the neighbors look and stare if you just go drive circles around the house for the fun of it! )

Thanks guys!

And... I've heard that one turns into another, when it comes to cubs?


Got a call from my neighbor this morning, he's got a friend that I guess I owe him his favorite beverage.... and gotta go unclutter his garage! :biggrin2.gif:

Welcome to the forum!

A 147 is a great first cub. I would like to add one to my collection as well.

Good looking 147 you have there. Did it come with the bottom U bracket for the IH 3pt?

Welcome!
Keith

Welcome gadgetman , Nice looking tractor! Funny, when all is running good around here my neighbors can't be seen or found. But if I even run out of gas... there they are, giggling. I live in "da city" and don't have a lot to mow but my back is a good enough excuse to hook up the deck. I do however have about 200 ft. of sidewalk plus a 12x25 drive I have to remove snow from. And around the Great Lakes that adds up. I'm looking forward to your posts.

No, there was no rear lift hitch hardware. Got an eye out for the EM stuff, but got plenty of capability to produce my own... but I've got nothing to hook to it yet either, so its low priority.

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.
