Default Saved a 147
Well I somehow managed to win a Cub 147 at a local auction this past weekend. Truth is 2 others were bidding against me and I had found out they were going to strip it and make a puller out of it. Now don't get me wrong I don't mind pullers and enjoy watching the sport, but when it might involve a hard to find in decent shape 147 with all the correct parts including a rear lift I just can't let it happen. Once Spring comes around I'll start making a list of what needs to be done to clean up some previous owner modifications (which includes a house light switch wired to something). Obviously a new wiring harness will be needed. Somehow a 50" deck from a quietline series GT is underneath. The correct 48" deck would have been nice. I'll get around to pics as soon as this deep freeze cold weather breaks.

Good save! Those guys would've been nuts to make that 147 hydro a puller.

Good save!!
My 126 was on the same road to destruction, in fact, it had already been victim to some dismemberment and mods.
Carry on!!

Great save. Cadets are just like the antique tractor hobby, some really aren't worth the time and money to save--those are the ones that should be parts donors and pullers.

Is there supposed to be a pull switch on the left side of the steering tower?

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.
