Default Creeper
I have always wanted a creeper for my Original, but have a question. It doesn't have the hole for the shifter and 2nd, is the wheelbase the same? Seems to me if you add something in the drive train, it will be longer?

You need to cut/find a shorter driveshaft.

I have one and a Danco creeper. I think what Sam is telling me is how to separate the tractor? I assume you just separate it and add the creeper. But then you have to cut a hole in the housing for the stick? I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that if I add something in the driveline, it should make it longer? And I should have said deteriorating mind. Wait a minute, the shorter driveshaft difference takes the slack?

You will have to cut a hole since you have an earlier tractor, pull the clutch out, remove the 2 bottom bolts that hold to rear to the frame and bolt it on.

I thought the info was in the service manual but I was wrong. You will need to shorten the drive shaft to accommodate the length of the creeper, you'll need to cut the hole for the shift lever. Sorry but I don't have a creeper so I can't give you more info. Others that have them will probably chime in. Just wondering why you want a creeper? To me it just more stuff to go wrong.

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.
