drglinski: First, I like your 147. Second, it is a hydrostatic. There are two things you can do that I know of to help with the cold starts.
1. Put a magnetic heater on the transmission to keep the Hy-tran warm, it will really help your cranking speed, from what I've heard. 2. Store your battery inside where it is warm and put a the trickle charge on it a few hours before you intend to use it. Outside of keeping it in a heated garage, I don't know of any way to leave it in a condition that will ensure instant starts without some method of bringing heat to the machine, or the machine to the heat. Disclaimer: I'm just reporting from experiences of others I've read. In North Carolina, I don't need to use my Cub much in the winter, and the coldest I've had to start it is about 45 deg Fahrenheit. Everybody up North swears by the magnetic heaters on the hydro though. Edit: Everyone but Roland Bedell, that is  I'm sure he has his engine in tip-top tune though. Timing, plugs, condenser, air cleaner, ignition wiring and key switch --all the usual suspects need to be in good working order. But trying to get them that way at below freezing is no fun at all.

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.
