147 Project
Getting ready to dive into the 147, to disassemble it for paint and general refresh of the tractor. Will try to add pictures along the way of the progress.
Haven't done much to it yet except take off the seat and sand a bit of the fender deck to see if it is worth saving, since it is got quite a bit of rust on it and some pretty severe pitting. First problem though, taking the fender deck off the tractor, there is the bolts under the seat and then the flat head screws that go through the foot rest pads. I got the ones under the seat out, but the ones in the foot pads are rusted on there good. Any suggestions for getting them off besides heating them. I've tried penetrating oil and brute force but all I am doing is messing up the head of the screw. I thought perhaps I could use an airhammer and snap the heads off and get replacements or even getting a cutting wheel for my air grinder, any other suggestions?

It may be too late for this if you wrecked the heads, but I have used an impact screwdriver on things like that with great results.
The best way IMO though is to heat the nut plate until it glows and then back it out...that works every time. A torch is a very handy thing...

candle wax works miracles. heat the nut till red and melt candle wax on them the parafin will suck into the threads as they cool, this will also help them from galling on the way out. Works on the rustiest of threads.

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.
