I met several very nice cub owners in western Ohio Sunday at the Wayne Tractor show on 322.
I was able to get a few parts for the 147 and now have a source for some more Cub parts also. Good used grill, shifter handle. (also got a hood ornament for the 102.
On the 147 I have pulled the carb and cleaned it up need to stop and get the bowl gaskets tomorrow.
Not sure how far I am going to go with the 147 clean up? Have de-greased the engine and the frame and found many areas that need attention. I did straighten all the wrinkles in the fenders and may be able to make them presentable. The right foot rest was bent down on the outer front corner about 1 inch and I have that back in position. Removed the wheel weights.
I do have a handful of parts cleaned, primed and painted. So that's a start. I guess if any tractor needs help this one does The engine will get a good wire brushing. primed and painted prior to going back in. I guess that means the rest of the tractor will need to be cleaned up too. I will try to post some pictures. This is not going to be a restoration project my wife keeps telling me!
Hope you had a great Fourth!
Regards,
Chris
