(BTW did you see pictures of the seat I installed on the 147? Thanks! I think it is going to work well.)
Glad to see you are making progress!
Regards,
Chris
Yes, it's a mess in there. But we'll get it going again guys.
Chris, I did not see the pictures, where are they? Did you get a chance to test drive (sit) it yet?

No, I didn't. I've never painted anything that wasn't lacquer. Other than rattle can. Back years ago when I was walking we used to do some body work, and we painted everything in lacquer. (late 70's early 80's)
All the stuff I've been doing to the other tractors is just rattle cans. But I talked with a buddy who has a auto body business, and he told me he would paint it after I got everything sand blasted and prepped. He's doing it with Dupont, for a buck fifty. I can't even begin to buy paint, reducer, hardner and spray gun for that.
Plus I don't have to worry about messing it up a time or two! It's also a little tuffer to wheel around something dragging a air hose behind I'm sure it can be done, but I really want this thing to turn out real nice, especially after going through all this work to give it a face lift

$150 for the Dupont paint is great! I've heard that it will glow in the sun light! So when does prep work begin?

Well been working on it in the evenings and rain days. I've got all the small stuff done (wire wheeled and sanded and primed with rattle can) If the wheather is nice this weekend I hope to get the frame and dash sand blasted.
Question, how in the h... do you get the center shaft out of the axle? I've got the PB on it for almost a week now and it still won't budge. HEAT?
Also, could, or shouldn't I blast the rearend and trans? If I stay away from the seals it should be ok, right? Or should I just get all the paint off with a wire wheel?
Thanks all.

Probably a stupid question, but, did you remove the roll pin that holds the pivot shaft in the axle? If you have, PB, PB, PB and a big hammer and drift. You may have to resort to heat. There isn't anything in there that heat will hurt.

Hey DWayne, yes the roll pin has been removed. It was broken off.
The pivot shaft is stuck in the axle, so it was accually pivoting in the frame. I think it should be the other way around, right? Shouldn't the axle be pivoting on the shaft? Boy that was about the dumbest thing I wrote in a long time, it has to, because the roll pin goes through the frame into the shaft. (dah)

Yes, it should pivot on the pivot pin... just keep working with it.

A BIG socket, a small socket and a HUGE "C" clamp will help a lot.

Big socket on one side, small (smaller than the pin) socket on the other, clamp all three together.

A dead blow hammer is very useful at this point.

It is amazing how much the clamping force pushing on that pin helps persuade that pin to move without the need for heat.

I hate to heat cast iron!! You never know where the stress will create a problem.

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.
