My 147 (pic heavy)
About 3 years ago I got the itch for a small end loader and started searching around the internet to see what my options were. Buying a new CUT tractor was out of the question. Even used ones cost too much and would be bigger than I need. Then I found the YouTube video of a 149 with a loader & backhoe and the itch turned into a “must have”. With a little more research I narrowed it down to using a 127 or 147.
Shortly thereafter this 147 came up for sale on craigslist. After making a 1-1/2 hour drive I was somewhat disappointed that the description didn’t match the reality. It had been sitting outside uncovered for around 15 years, long enough for two 3” trees to grow up between the frame and foot rest. Ugh! I was about to walk away when I decided to reach down and try to turn the engine over with the starter pulley. The engine was free and I could feel some compression. It came with a snow blower, a rototiller with both extensions and a mower deck. I figured if nothing else it would be a good parts tractor if I found something else in better shape. After giving it the usual maintenance she fired right up and has been running great since. It has a fairly good oil leak but that will be taken care of when I get around to going through the engine. All I have are before and photos. The paint on the loader, hood, dash and fender pan were done right but the rest is a quickie job. Video coming soon.

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.
