Anyone here still pulling an Original?
I've bumped into several folks at the pulls that mentioned they've pulled Originals over the years. Just wondering if anyone else besides us, is STILL using one to pull with?
My son and I pull this one in a couple of 1050 classes. I just installed the suitcase wieghts and we've got a pull this weekend. We originally were giving up about 200lbs. With the wheel weights and hanging weights, we should be REAL close now. If you have an "O" that you pull, let us know what class(es) you pull in and if you have done any modifications to it. And, as always, pics are appreciated! For the veterans of this board, these are probably old news, but here's a couple of our puller.

I've been thinking about getting another "o" to pull with, but I believe I would be better off going with a 70/100 and putting the "o" tins on it so that I have the advantage of the full shaft-drive. What engine does that have in it?

Hi Dane,
Right now it has a 10hp Kohler. One thing i have found is that the belt drive is pretty stout. You also have to keep in mind that the "O"s have two reduction drives, one at the engine and one at the transaxle. Where the direct drive guys are changing gears to get lower, the "O" already is lower. And, the fact that it's a belt-drive means that you can change the diameter of the upper pulley to change speed/torque going to the rear. I'm currently working on a hub system that would allow me to change the upper pulley easily to adjust the gearing. Hope to have that finished up this summer. If the belt does begin to be an issue, I'm already considering a chain drive system. Down side to pulling with an "O" is that the axles are different (brake drum) so if you're going to go changing a lot, I think you'll have some time/money in machining to make it all work again. But once you DO!

Then I may just build up an O sometime to try out. If I do Im going to use a K-181 with the 161 tins, so I can run in my club's >10hp class. Have you done any clutch mods?

I was just asking, because the O I have currently will spin the tires in 1st and 2nd, but won't in 3rd. I didn't really look under it while it was going to see if it was the clutch or the belt, but it wouldn't move.

I think you would really be on to something with the chain drive. Sprockets are cheap. Only problem would be keeping the chain drive tight. You would need to fabricate so sort of idler.

I was thinking about an adjustable engine mount that you can tighten...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. 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. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
