147
 

have found a Cub 147 on Craigslist for $275.00. Guy says it runs great but needs a starter gen, which he has. My understanding on these is they came with an electric lift and headlights. This one has neither. Was the first production run of these with a manual lift? He said the headlight was removed by the person he bought it from.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he's right, the 147 was the first Cub to come standard with electric lift. So if the PO took the headlights off, he may very well have taken the electric lift off. Again, if I'm wrong, someone please chime in.

The 147 came from the factory with the electric lift and headlights.

Thanks, have read the actuators were junk anyways and replaced with manuals. Is 275 a good price, comes with the po thinks a 42" deck. Will be looking at tonight. About a 1.5 hour drive.

thats a fair price, see if he will take $250 for it

Depends on the guy, some people you would be able to say "Well since I have to put the new part on and it's missing the original lift or headlights" you may be able to get it for $225. Worst he can say is no and counter with a different offer. Either way, even at $275, it's not a bad price if all works and is there. Good luck!! Oh, and don't forget pics :biggrin2:

They did come with headlights and electric lifts. The e lifts were prone to crapping out so many of them are gone. Mine is on my 147. The manual lifts work fine.

My 147 has headlights and working electric lift. There should be some room to dicker especially if parts are not there.
Looking for pictures.
