Default Sediment bowl on a 147?
Hi, getting a 147 in tip top shape. Saw that the gas tank just had a petcock stubbed into it and no sediment bowl. I put one on which required using a close nipple, so I am wondering was this a factory design? The sediment bowl sits right on top of the coil making it slightly difficult to remove the bowl. Great running machine that still needs a few odds and ends I was just curious about this, thanks for any info

It prolly has a replacement motor in it,most likely for a wide frame.
I have seen the gas tanks turned 180 degrees and they used a pet cock and a inline filter.

Hey there,
Yes it is a replacement motor. The coil sits higher than the other narrow frames, so I imagine your right about it being a wide frame motor. I just had to buy back my 127 from my brother in law(turns out he's not a cub guy, or anything old) and the tank on it is rotated with an inline filter feeding a walbro carb.

Yup, that's how my 147 was when I bought it. Tank had the bowl on the right side and a ridiculous long line on it. When I turned the tank the correct way the coil was in the way. Solution was to lower the coil on the bracket as far as it'd go, and the coil wire actually comes into contact with the bottom of the bracket for the sediment bowl, but it works and looks pretty OEM for a cobbled up job.

Daniel, buddy, that's kind of dangerous. The bracket on the sediment bowl is metal... attached to a metal tank.. the GAS TANK. Not really somewhere I want high current electricity to be. You get a small hole in that plug wire at the strap and the hood could blow off... in a big ball of fire! I'd do some more rerouting if I were you!

Well.... it likely wouldn't EXPLODE... but there is a chance.

Looks sorta like this currently





Been riding around like this for approx. 3+ years now. I'm not overly worried about it. Never really thought about it. I went out to the garage just now and worked the wire on top of the coil a bit so it doesn't ride on the bracket for the sed. bowl. I'll keep an eye on it, but not going to be paranoid about it.

Thanks for the thought/concern.

Daniel that looks like maybe a replacement engine.
Or maybe just the shroud.
An OEM 14hp would have the coil bracket bolted on the shroud at crankshaft centerline.
And that decal would not be placed under the tank bracket.

At lease all the 147's I have seen so far.

Easy fix, replace the plug wire with one that has a 90 degree end where it goes into the coil.

Why not just loosen the clamp holding the coil and slide the coil down a little bit and tighten back up?

Yup, I think it's one or the other. Determined that long ago after seeing the OEM placement in a manual.


Coil has been lowered as far as it can on the bracket.

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.
