New guy in CT with a 105
 

Hey everyone. I'm Jeff from Connecticut. I just picked up a Cub Cadet 105 that is in fairly decent shape. It will need some TLC but it seems pretty solid. Someone converted the front PTO clutch to an electric unit. It actually looks like it's an automotive air conditioner clutch. It seems to work, not sure how long it'll last though.

I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions to ask on here as well as a lot of searching the forums for helpful information.

Welcome to OCC. I am Cory, from Connecticut as well. I have 2 104's and a newly acquired 123. Glad to have you here, I am from East Haddam, where abouts in CT are you from? If ya need anything, this is the site to belong to! :beerchug:

:Welcome2: Glad to have you! Congrats on your 105.

Thanks guys. ihcc104, I'm up in Ashford.

Nice to meet you.
If you can, get some pictures of the electric pto on your 105.
Would love to see how they did it :biggrin2:

Welcome to OCC. I would like to see some pics of the PTO conversion if possible. Does the engine have a gear drive starter? I have been pondering a electric clutch set up on my 125 but would have to install a newer engine in it with a gear drive starter meaning the frame would have to be modified for the larger flywheel.

Jeff :Welcome2:

:WWP:

I will work on posting up some pictures of the PTO this weekend. It still has the starter/generator.

Here are the pictures that were requested, as well as a few others.

The toggle switch in the cigarette lighter block off plug engages the PTO.
