Back in the game with my 147!!
Hey all! It has been a while as I sold my Last cub, 1450, about two years ago. I've kept up on the forums as I could but just had lost the itch for a cubbie of my own. Then, whilst cruising Craigslist one night I came across this. A 1971 cc 147, original owner, all service records from the local IH dealer/shop, original service/owners manual, tire chains, nice snow blade, good smooth quiet deck with only one hole needs patched in, and about 95% original. Even better, the owner had meticulously cared for her since she left the showroom floor. The 147 is definitely a worker, shows signs of use, but good use! The only thing I'm nervous about is the electric lift, however, this one seems to be going strong. Mowed with her immediately upon returning home today, and it did a great job. Here are a couple of pics right after we put her to work on her new patch of ground. Any suggestions or things to look out for would be much appreciated, otherwise, I'm gonna put her to work this summer and then do a tear down this winter to, hopefully just give her a new coat of paint and make her work/show worthy for next year.

That's one nice original 147! If I remember right the electric lift better the motor and the cylinder takes grease and check the brushes on the motor.

Nice machine! I've heard the e-lift works a little better if you add a spring assist. I'd like to say I could tell you from experience, but I haven't got that part of my 147 working yet. Welcome back to the owners club!

Congrats on the 147.
You're thinking of painting it. Man, that tractor looks great in it's work clothes, only original once. But it's your tractor, do what you got to do.

Since that looks a LOT like my 123, I think that is the most beautiful Cub ever!
(Well.... saw a diesel Cub in an earlier post.... I could learn to like that one, too...)

Was that the one that was at the Paxton IL Community auction about 3 weeks ago? The one there was very clean, had the electric lift and the manual, started right up and brought the most money of all of the machines there, despite being the oldest tractor there....but is definitely worth more than aabout any newer Husq or Yard man.... which was the "competition" that day.

Nice 147! it's probably more show-worthy in its original clothes, there are not a huge number of unmolested ones left out there!

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.
