IH Cub Cadet 147 Restoration 5

another classic. i am upgrading my front axle and changing to 5 stud trailer hubs. great progress on your build.

charlie don't surf . lol i love the smell of napalm in the morning and well done restos.     good job buddy

A little late now, but a good tip is to smear a bit of permatex on the ends of the cam pin to prevent oil seepage.  There really is no seal or anything around the ends of the pin and they can weep oil over time.  I'm a little worried about that governor shaft too, I think you should have replaced it or welded the paddle to the shaft.  On our JD forum there have been numerous members that have done that with no issues.  Love the videos, great work!

Is that Saturn's hero's at the beginning ready to rob the German bank? lol Great job.  I picked up a bunch of NOS parts for that Kohler at an auction. Someone got a great deal on the connecting rod on ebay. Still have a bunch of ring sets, not 30 over though.

I just sent both valves to the place in Conneaut, OH to be rebuilt. Only $65 for both. It's about 1 hour from me.

Hi, Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. And, I appreciate your interesting and eclectic choices in music. Keep 'em coming!

i know older vid. but anyone comes along this.. please.. wash your block with hot soap and water..and parts.. then WD40 them.. i forgot to. will .. grrr had to rip it apart and clean up the crank side of the rod and piston skirt and cyl walls.. very very very lil bits of something got in there.. i was watchin the oil for wear in and 2 changes in 4 hours was wayyyy to much metel in the oil .. GRRRRRR

I have a 127. I ran it for 3 years, then I replaced the filter/fluid/rear seal. It ran for a bit, then the hydro quit working. You could sit there in full forward and it would eventually creep forward, then stop. Any ideas? I have the deck, rear tin, and engine removed right now. I am trying to get it going, and kind of fix things and tighten things up as I go. I do not have all of the tools and equipment as you do, but I should be able to freshen it up. I am just clueless on a hydro trans and they want over $2,000 to rebuild one around here.

Well, don't shoot your eye out:-)

Great job.. and good video editing!  It is interesting to watch someone rebuild a kohler engine.  I have one that I need to tackle too and all this stuff is like learn as you go.  Keep us posted on the progress.         

Nice!
