Thumbs up
Nice find! So, having set for a spell, the basic engine / transmission stuff should be looked at. I usually pull the head on my tractors, de-carbon the two surfaces, and flatten the head, among many other things!

Good luck, I bet you get the 147 up and running soon!

Thanks everyone! I think I'll do what was suggested and put a manual lift on until I come across an e-lift for a good price. I can always "borrow" the lift from my 106 since it has the shredder mounted to it. Don't really need it for that tractor right now.

As far as the hydro lift, has anyone put one on a 147? It seems like the frame flares would be in the way for the pulley and such for the hydro?

Everyone is coming home for Christmas this year.

Yeah, according to the dirt pattern on the engine, the head gasket is blown. It's pretty dirty around the gasket area. PO also said one of the axles leaks a little, so I'll have to check all that out as well.

We all know I'll win.... Unless you put me to work on yours when I'm home. But that's cheating.

What if I put you to work on other important projects so I can work on the tractor. Is that cheating??

If you guys would get off the computers you'd have them done, slackers.

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.
