Barn find

[dray]

Was on eBay a while back and found this 147 being auctioned. I thought well I would bid never thought I’d win? I did. A long trip have twice as much in fuel than in the cub, but I honored my bid. Said it had been setting in a barn for years.

The last of the NF's and the first of the 14HP Cubs and the integrated seat/fender pan.
It's a keeper in my book!

Yep the 147 is one of my favorites. I never seen that brake style on the PTO on a narrow frame before.

That's not the brake style; it's way out of adjustment, the clutch is falling off, and the belt is off the pulley.

You have the broke style... Nice find though.

I think that’s what put it into the barn

I like the look of the 147. Looks heavy and tough. I have 2. One with a completely rebuilt engine but not restored. The other one is not running but won’t take a whole lot to get going. I will need to find the electric lift the previous owner put a porta power on it for the lift.
