i spent all day today breaking down my parts tractor (127) and moving some over to my working tractor (147) Over the past few months as I'm taking things apart, I'm noticing that the PO of the 147 did some very creative rebuilding on certain parts in order to get the tractor to work for resale... Now she has several parts that are meant to be on the 147 from the get go. Things I replaced today:
original voltage regulator to replace the napa chevy one on my 147 head lights Front iron / hood Entire undercarriage and mule drive Electric lift and all parts pertaining leg protector cage added a 3pt. lift everything works great! I'm excited! next: -fix the leaking gas where at the gas shut off screw -build a way to connect the wheel horse front blade (or find someone to trade me for a IH blade build a way to mount wheel weights build a way to mount some weights on the back i'll build a sale thread for those of you that need parts off my 127...

For weight you should consider filling the tires with the Water and Dawn dishsoap solution. That's likely the easiest way to add weight. There's a thread on here that says, "8oz to one wheel/tire with water."

Will water/dish soap freeze? If so how about windshield wiper fluid or antifreeze? or will that affect the rubber?
Probably be a good idea to make sure your rims are nice and painted on the inside too. |

If you check on here for threads about it, they say it won't freeze with the dishsoap in it. And, it shouldn't cause any corrosion problems with your wheels, but it's advisable to use inner tubes when using liquid weight in case your tire bead won't seal completely.

Thats cool! I will have to search for the thread. Sounds interesting.
![]() When I was a kid I had a rider I used for an atv with bad tires. Just for kicks I tried just water and it actually sealed them. They where cracked and junk tires but I had no money for new ones. I think it must of worked something like the slime they have now. I think probably dirt/debris filled the cracks. |

A lot of people use the windshield washer fluid that is rated to @ 30 below 0 to fill their tires. Antifreeze isn't as good of an idea due to toxic issues if it leaks out and family or neighbor pets start licking it up. Tubes are good to use, but if the centers are painted good you really should not have a problem. A bit more expensive route to go is rimguard, or also called beet juice. Animal safe and has more weight per measure of unit than any other useable liquid.

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.
