Spent the day in the shop
Yesterday I got the 147 ready for the colder winter months, and this included a bit of work I had planned for it.
Monday was the last "mow" of the season, at least for this machine. I don't know how much grass mowing I did as much as just moving leaves around, but it was still fun. Mower deck removal.  Mule drive removal.  Needed a new starter/generator belt. Installing this meant moving the wiring harness around as the previous belt had the s/g as far away from the engine as possible. Although it worked, the belt was very tired, so I put a new one before it broke and I had to do it at -10 degrees.  I like how it has an IH on it.  -Oil change. Went from 30 wt. to 10W-30W. -Greased up steering; box and spindles. Install of lift bracket.   Install of chains. I taped off the c link on the back and zip tied off the chain excess.    I was hoping that I could get some paint on the blade; going to have to wait till next spring as it's too cold now. It's been suggested that I have two cubs set up one for snow removal and one for mowing BUT I don't mind the conversion; I enjoyed yesterday in the garage, wrenching on my cub. (although I have two cubs that I'd like to get eventually.) Bring on the snow! Thanks

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.
