The 129 is a wide frame and the 147 is a narrow frame, the 129 has a better steering system. I would go with the 129, if you don't need the extra 2hp. I depends on what you want.

The biggest "pro" for the 129 is the fact that is is a Wide Frame tractor and a lot easier to work on. Other than that, the merits are about equal.

129 rear and deck
Well I had a 129 follow me home today,motor runs good no smoke,But I only have reverse no forward.My question is will the trans out of a 782 iron rear fit right in a 129 with little problem? Also will the mule drive and deck bolt on? and as far as the rear might no forward be a simple fix ?thanks

Thanks Matt I dont know for sure how it works,But the tunnel cover was not bolted down and when I removed it there was 2 hex bolt looking things with a plunger thing in the center atop the trans one button was up the other was down I am guessing they are the valves your talking about.I had to remove the driveshaft the coupling at the rear is worn so when I fix it I will try again.Sound like the 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.
