Default 148
Very nice work on the grill and engine. IH definitely should have built a 148! I love it. The original paint looks great from here.

You and Rescue 11 do some awesome builds. Looking forward to the next one.

Chris

Deck is tore down, dosent look to bad , surface rust, and the bearings need to be cleaned and repacked, new seals, some wheels, and weld up the front guid. Definitely some sanding and paint. Not going to restore it just get it looking good and mowing for another 30 years.

Took the 148 out for a test drive today, very happy. Drives and runs perfect. Might just have to keep it.

Looking good Keith!!

Wish I could find a deck in that good shape in Illinois that isn't a day trip to get! My 50" is shot and I need to find a replacement. I have a couple decent 44" decks.... but you know how it goes. You always want to have the biggest deck.

Speaking from a woman's point of view, having the biggest deck isn't necessarily the best thing...it is how well the deck performs at it was designed to do!

The 148 tractor and deck are coming along nicely!

I have a nice 50" shell but need the rest of the parts and I am in illinois...
Youre in southern IL right? Someone on CL had a decent looking 44" in Anna. $100 asking price. it would be a day trip for me for sure as I'm up north... if I had time it would be a good excuse to hit up my neighbor's fishing cottage down there.

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.
