Default Finally found my 147: Pics

I've been on the 147 lookout for quite awhile, they just don't come up too often around here. After narrowly missing one a few months back, I finally beat the rest of the craigslisters to the punch. Spotted it a few hours after it went up and picked it up 7:30 am next morning.

The seller claims he had it running last Saturday and that the engine runs quiet and smokeless. Says hydro is "strong." We will see.

The good:

Hydro lever stiff but moves
Everything in place to attempt a startup
Dash not cracked
No real deep pitted rust on hood or rest of sheetmetal
Headlight panel is good
Engine turns, there is some compression

The bad:
I spotted a Fram oil filter down on the trans
Needs tires, seat and steering wheel
Grill insert missing (don't know what style to look for)
Electric lift actuator/motor completely gone (any ideas on replacements?)
PTO frozen to the pully
Fender pan will take quite a few love taps to get back to original

Depending on how the engine and hydro behave, this might be a good restoration base. I'm glad to finally join you guys in the International Harvester club.

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.
