Is this possible
 

I got an idea earlier and was wondering if it would be possible. I have a 1450, so it's hydro drive. Would there be any way possible to put a rear PTO on this Cub? I was thinking that I could do it with a separate hydraulic pump with lines to some sort of hydro gear. What do you guys think?

I'll be flippant and answer that anything is possible but I have one question-

Just what will it run?

UHmmmmm...IIRC The rear PTO can only be installed on manual transmissions. Don't thnk you can do that with a Hydro like the 1450.

If you were to mount a front hydraulic pump on the motor, you could theoretically run hydraulic motor powered implements, front or rear.... It'd be pretty spendy for parts....and I'm not sure how much power would be available...

If you are looking for PTO power it might be better to find a 140 or other small tractor..

Possibilities of modifications to anything are only limited by your imagination, skills & abilities, and your bank account.

I'm interested in 'what will it run?'

Hydraulic power? easy enough to twist the frame like a pretzel. Hydraulic motor with pto stub? you are probably in the $500 range....pump, hoses, spool, brakets, relief valve,.....all together ?????$1200++++


But still everyone misses the point of the question.....???????

I'd like to see if anyone gets it.

Jim:

There was a Rear PTO Kit that CCC/MTD offered for the 982. It was for the Cubs with the Aluminum Rear End (S/N: 720,000 >). IH "NEVER" offered a Rear PTO Kit for anything they made for a Hydro Drive Tractor.

Kinda says it all.

I agree with murphycc. I plan to build an electric FEL for my 149 so I can still use the PTO.

This one isn't mine but I plan to do something like this.

Why not just run a hydraulic pump off the pulley on the flywheel end of the engine? (Now that I think about it, I can't remember if the WF tractors have that pulley...if not, you could get a drive cup from an older tractor and still be able to do this) You've still got your PTO clutch that way. I'm not convinced linear actuators are the best thing for a loader.

I have thought about that, but I want to be able to remove it when I need to or put it on my 129.
