Trac-Vac 460
Would like to share this project with everyone, I've not found alot of info or pics on the net on this Trac-Vac Model 460 so hopefully this will help or inspire someone else to get a long forgotten project like this finished.
More than a few years ago I picked up a pile of Trac-Vac parts at a yard sale, looked to be a complete 460 setup and some other parts for a pull-behind unit at that time I had no clue what I bought. My plan was always to get it behind another brand of tractor but since swapping to Cubs it's finding it's way on my 1250. Just so happens that one of the deck chutes is the exact one I need for the 44" deck I have! Must have been fate all those years ago that I would end up with a Cub and not go through with my "other" tractor adaption.
One thing I did not get was the vac to tractor adapter so I had to fabricate one, found a few pics for reference and started building something. Set it up to work with my lower 3 point and two holes already in the frame. Makes it easy on and off won't interfere with my upper 3 point arm once I get that installed.
Let me add, my personal preference is to have my attachments on the tractor for easy of maneuvering and backing so making a trailer or hooking to the hitch was out. The Briggs engine is not running but parts are on the way to get it working. The coil is bad and the carb is going to need cleaning/rebuilt. It's also going to need a new exhaust as the one on it now is not up to my liking.
So lets start off with some pics . . .
