Default Hello from Nebraska

Recently acquired a new toy, and found this site yesterday. Immediately signed up, and got the blessing to post today. Ran across a Cub 147 with a Johnson workhorse 10TC loader on it very cheap because it had an electrical gremlin the previous owner was tired of chasing. I grew up in a mechanics shop, and am an engineer by trade, so it was right up my alley. 5 minutes and fixed, then installed a new plug and had spark again. Drained and cleaned the tank, got rid of the sight bowl, installed fittings, a fuel shutoff switch, inline filter, and cleaned the carb. Couple adjustments to the carb, and its alive!! Loader works well also. Now that I know it runs, the spending begins. Muffler was barely there, so that got replaced. New choke cable on, an oil change, and the rear ag style tires/tubes will be delivered tomorrow. Lights don't work, but haven't really dug into that one because it isn't really a priority. Was toying with the idea of painting it red previously, and when i found the "149 restofication" by IHinIN, its a done deal. Read the entire thread, magnificent job on that tractor, and hope mine turns out that well. It sat on the trailer for a couple weeks, got brought into the shop and sat there until last week. As you see in one of the pics, there's a bigger project burning up my free time, but after dark, the tractor gets its turn.
Thanks for the site, and you will be seeing me again.

Welcome!
I have a danco version of this loader on a 106. I have found the loader to be extremely useful.
Your front tires look a bit weather checked. I would suggest new load rated front tires before putting too much weight in the loader.

I'll be getting new tires for the front as well. Passenger rear won't even hold air, so thats the reason the rears were prioritized. Every time i had to move it, had to air up a tire... P.I.T.A.
Drivers side front has a new turf tire the previous owner had put on sometime that still has the nipples on it, but passenger side has ribbed tire that looks as though it could be as old as the tractor. Holds air, but not in good shape.
Thanks for the insight.

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.
