Default Added more IH equipment

Ok I have a problem!
On the way to help a friend this morning I remembered a Cub setting along the road, near Union City PA.
It was still there, so I stopped and spoke with the owner. I took a look at it and it is a 147 that has had a very rough life. It needs everything. Not sure it can be saved? Maybe with you guys to help
Anyway the guy said make a offer. I did and he said it was mine. The 147, with wheel weights, a 42 in snow blower and a 42 inch mower deck. All of this stuff has been setting outside for quite some time and is in rough shape.
The 14 hp motor was not froze up. But the pedal for the hydro was froze in the up position?? I know these hydros are hard to move when not running so not sure how I may get it loaded.
The 147 tractor and deck has been painted red where the yellow would be. I would doubt that this 147 was painted red originally??? I have only seen yellow ones.
Oh I did break the news to the wife and I am still allowed to sleep in the house She has put up with me for 40 years, she knows I am nuts!
Hope to get this project home and get some pictures, I am not expecting much from this equipment and will be surprised if it can be brought back to working order?
I thought the snow thrower might be a nice project too?
And the deck may be in better shape that the one that I have just completed.
Sorry no pictures yet
Regards,
Chris
