Rear wheel width, option?
The IH manual says my 147 was standard with 8.50-12 rear tires, however, when I acquired mine it has 10.5-12 rear tires. Were those an option? Or did a PO install them at some point? (makes no difference really, I don't plan on changing them back, just curious)

10.50's were an option.

Just about every 147 I owned had the 10.50 tires installed, I do believe it was standard equipment .

Add on question...
Did the optional 10.5's on the 8.5 wide rims force the use of a 48" deck? Or will the 42" deck gauge wheels still clear the optional tires and rims? |

23x8.50-12 were Standard Equipment Rear Tires. 23x10.50-12 were Optional, per the IH Cadet Cadet Data Sheet.

Quote:
Did the optional wider tires negate the use of the 42" deck and require use of the 48" deck so that the gauge wheels would clear? |

You can use a 42" deck with gauge wheels on a narrow frame.

You can use a 48" deck with the wide wheels.

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.
