Cub Cadet 147
The Cub Cadet 147 is a compact lawn and garden tractor made from 1969 to 1971. It's perfect for small farms and big yards. This tractor has a 2WD system and manual steering, making it easy to use. It uses a hydrostatic transmission, which means smooth speed changes without shifting gears. Under the hood, you'll find a Kohler K321A engine. This single-cylinder gasoline engine is air-cooled and has 14 horsepower. It's not the most powerful, but it's good for many yard tasks. The engine size is below average, but it runs at a very high speed of 3600 rpm. The tractor weighs 738 pounds, which is above average for its class. It has lawn tires, a three-point hitch, and an electric starter. Extra features include a front PTO and an optional hitch. The fuel tank holds 2 US gallons, so you can work for a while before refueling.
