Re: Donations needed
I have lots of tools scattered across several buildings. Many I seldom use, but when I do need them, I hope to be able to find them where I last saw them. Information and details about half-a-century-old garden tractors may not be in high daily demand, but access frequency is not an accurate means o...

Re: Attachments: Custom Dump Box
Nice! More pictures needed for sure!
Does it trip easily but stay secure with load? Manageable fully loaded? In other words tried and proven worthy?

Re: Best use for a 147?
I will start by saying...like I indicated in my last post I don't have a spring assist for my 127. I think the one in your picture is not the general use assist. As the picture says...brinly. that is probably for a rear plow? If it does the same thing...I can't answer that. This is what I think is ...

Re: Best use for a 147?
Don't have good pictures of my 147 yet. Is this the proper lift spring?

Re: Best use for a 147?
Not sure why someone would have converted it, but perhaps an electric failure was more expensive than a manual. Don't know, but this has a Chrome manual lift.

Re: Best use for a 147?
I agree on not using a loader on it. Not only do you not have power steering, the lifting capabilities are limited and the narrow frame front axle spindles were upgraded after the narrow frames for a reason. As for the blower, yes it's a lot of weight for a manual lift. The 147 will have that chrom...

Re: Best use for a 147?
Dave, I did not mount the thrower on the 126 this year and the little 102 is filling that void just fine for the most part. The 126 will be getting an engine change out this Spring being the reason, it's getting tired and I don't want so smash anything. The qa42a does have some advantages over the ...

Re: Best use for a 147?
I recently saw a Cub blower for sale and while it was not the correct model it got me thinking that since this 147 is manual lift maybe that's not the best use for it. I have a WH and Bolens with manual snow blade and I'm fine with those but a blower is much heavier. Does my experience apply to this...

Re: Best use for a 147?
I have little to no experience with single stages but I've heard for years that the 2 stage is better, especially in slush. I do have lots of experience with 2-stages and they are fabulous in dry snow yet still very tricky in slush! My 35 hp, 74" 2-stage is a 4sp with 2sp rear so there is plenty of ...

Re: Best use for a 147?
Thanks guys! It's a tougher question since I really don't need it or any attachments for it, but I still want it, so I'm just trying to set it up how it would be the best it could. I don't need a single stage since I have more than one 2 stage blower, but if a blower came by I'd consider it. Not sur...

Re: Best use for a 147?
Thanks for the welcome! You ARE correct, externals, not steering. I'd forgotten that and just kept the visual of the twin discs over the trans. Now I remember that it was my plan to look around and see if someone had converted one to steering. I guess for now the only GT with steering brakes is my P...

Best use for a 147?
Hi guys. I've browsed for a while but just now joined. I have several Wheel Horses and Sears/AYP/Ropers, a Power King and a Bolens tube frame and a 147. Got a lot of attachments for several of them as well. I don't like swapping attachments and I probably have tractors that I don't have to if I choo...
