Default 2 dipsticks?

i wonder why my 147 had 2 dipsticks. while putting her back together, im going to just put a cover over the cam and only use the upper dipstick( i have one that is the proper lenght). i was told that the lower dipstick has a tendency to leak so im not going to use it. why did they do this from the factory anyways? does the machine really need 2 dipsticks.

The upper one is just a fill tube.

The 147's didn't have 2 dipsticks, they had a upper fill tube and a lower dipstick due to the addition of the balance gears resulting in interference when using the upper fill tube as a dipstick. This is what I learn off of this wonderful site when I did my research.

The upper dipstick is correct. The one is on later engines like in the wide fame series all the narrow frame had the upper one. All of the older IH cubs didn't have a fill tube (82 series did) They use the same tube.

I think you need to start posting pics of this... I just went to pg 4 here;

Or do you have a stick in place of the fill plug like on pg 6 here;

the original engine had a "fill tube" and a dipstick located on the timing gear cover. im installing a standard cover without a dipstick and using a regular full lenght dipstick. im also not using balance gears, they have a tendency to destroy engines, they are going in the garbage.

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.
