    Bent parts -or- How in the heck did that happen? I Split my 147 and I'm thinking that it's gonna take a long time to get it back together! I've ordered many parts at the sponsors above. I can't help but keep watching the driveway, looking for the UPS man even though I ordered the parts only...

    What to do, what to do??? This is a question that I think many of you have run into before. In recent posts, I have mentioned that I started working on a 147 from 1971 that has been in my family since it was new. While garaged most of the time, it wasn't treated nicely, meaning the oil...

    I have a set of the carlisle snow hogs on my 127 that was my snow plow tractor in the past. I now have a Cub Loboy because of the bigger blade and hydraulics. Before getting the snow hogs, I had little to no steering control with the original wide front tires. I think that the ride is...

    More information about the 2 dipstick K321A: I decided to remove the oil pan from my K321A to find out if there were balance gears in there. And the answer is.... Yes Next step is to remove the head and take a look at the cylinder wall. I should add that there really...

    I am trying to remove the PTO from my K321A. Maybe I shouldn't do it, but I am trying to overhaul what ever I can. I can get to the set screws, but it seems that the basket is in the way of getting them all the way out. There are notches in the basket but they don't line up with the set...

    Ryan, I do believe that the engine I have is original. My dad bought this new and it has been at his house or mine all these years. I will ask him about this, but I don't think he would remember. I don't know if it matters, but this engine is yellow. Were all the replacements black...

    A few weeks ago, there was a discussion about engines with two dipsticks. I finally uncovered my 147 and got this information from it. 147 SN 20500 41U 362866 K321A SN 2225887 SPEC 6099A The tag was riveted to the engine. My Dad bought this new in 1971 (I think). I have had it...

    It is time to rewire my 147. I have patched the wires in so many places that I have jumpers on most every wire. Those wire sure are brittle. I want to get a new harness from one of the site sponsors. That is the easy part. How much do I have to take apart to run the new wires? I have...

    Charlie, isn't that a manual lift lockout button? I just bought one for about $20. I do need another though. I've been to a couple of the vendors at the top of this site but they seem to be on back order.

    I have the steering column and gear out of my 147 and it is almost all taken apart. There was a lot of play in the wheel and gear so I decided to try and fix it. There wasn't any play in the drag link after I replaced the roll pin on the left spindle. I can not remove the large threaded end...

    There was some discussion about the lock button on the manual implement lift handle. I placed an order for two of these but they seem to be on backorder. I'll start calling the sponsers above, but first does anyone know of a place that does have them ? Oh, I'd like to get two of the...

    Todd, I prefer pushing wet snow with my 42" blade on a 127 with tire chains. I have a gravel driveway. When the snow is fluffy, a lot tends to come off the blade on the leading side. Then I have to make another pass to clean that line. Maybe I need to remove the rust and paint the face of...

    Kraig and Ken, Please accept my apology! Can I blame this on Dyslexia? It is too big a goof to blame on bad typing. I guess it all comes down to not paying attention. Thanks for all the great information.

    Gee, Ken. I knew someone would say to look in the FAQ, so I did... I missed the link at the top that says to check out Charlie's FAQ. I've now add that to my bookmarks/favorites. The steps in the FAQ may be simpler than the Noisy Dryer, or Strapped to a Wheel methods so I will try that...

    Thanks for the pointers to the gas tank discussion. Because I rarely throw away "good" things, I have a spare working clothes dryer. I will add some bolts and nuts and chain with some sort of fluid (Kerosene?) to the rusty tank. Then wrap it in some old towels or blankets. I'll let it tumble...

    With all the discussion of cold starting engines with Hydrostatic transmissions, Does it make sense to use the release lever when starting? (the lever on the the right side of the tunnel that allows a hydro to be pushed) Or is that a bad idea ? On a different topic, I bought a 127 that...

    I see many posts here that mention tractors as 1x6/7. What does that refer to ? I haven't seen a definition in the FAQ or the old posts that I have scrolled thru. I'm just trying to keep up with the wealth of information here ! Thanks, Paul

    Thanks to several people here and some private emails, I was able to get the pinion shaft out of the electric lift. The bearing that holds it in place needs to be replaced. There was a lot of play before pulling on the shaft and now the ball bearings are scattered on the floor! New parts...

    Thanks Kraig, Yes, that is exactly what I am working on. I don't know how to get into the body, labeled #1 to get at the shaft labeled #2. There is some play when I turn that by hand, and I want to see if the gear(s) need to be replaced. Thanks, Paul

    Hello, I'm new here and I am trying to get some information about a model 147 that has been in my family for a while. My Dad bought it new in '71 or '72. This came with an electric lift which he replaced with a manual lift because the electric didn't work well with the weight of the...
