I did some research before dealing as he said he thought it would need new tracks but he'd had it running before he tarped it.8 yrs. Along with the blade and small loader bucket. Neighbor said he'd never sell it to me as he could have sold it 50 times over the years from passersbye, but my motto of "timing is everything" proved itself again and 450.00 later it was on the trailer. Mother nature took its toll on tarp and out pops a set of sticks. A lot of old blue tarps in the old coal town of Saltilla, OH. I'd been driving by an old blue tarp for years and thought it was a lawn mower or equivilent underneath it.

Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. I wonder why the difference? Here's the tandem dump:Ĭub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. It's funny, my tandem dump Cub starts easily with two hydros and a hydraulic pump all attached. I need the ports for the blade hydraulics-angle and height. The 1210's hydro is ported, so I'll probably swap that to one of the cast iron axles. Plus many body parts from the 129 that was the second donor for the grader, so I'd be going for a WF look, using the frame from the 1210, the two cast iron axles, and the hood/grill from the 129 and other WF parts. I've got two spare hydro axles, and a complete 1210 (with a third, albeit aluminum) axle. On the other hand, that might put the front axle out too far forward, so the engine above the axles may look better. To retain the look of a cub with tracks, I need to keep the engine down low, with crank in line with the hydro inputs, each side of the motor driving one hydro, perhaps with a Cub clutch to disengage one of them for starting. Yes, I would idle diagonally opposite axles. Some of your best ideas will pop into your head while fishing. Would you idle the opposite axles (front left, rear right say) and lock the crown/carrier gear to one axle per end? I would consider a HP rated centrifugal clutch to replace the original for simplicity and options on belt sizes and dual pulleys. Reverse and forward speeds would remain the same with no mods to the swash plates. Set the engine PTO clutch over top the front axle input and belt drive down. The easiest may be to set it up just like your grader, just with the axles farther apart.
