Default 1810 Diesel Project
I have had a bunch of problems with blowing up kohler twins so I decided to start my diesel cub project. I acquired a kubota d905 and I am installing it in my 1810 parts tractor. The engine is in and barely fits, the throttle linkage is done, the driveshaft is hooked up, and the radiator is mounted. I also decided to install a hand pump air ride seat on it. Now for the hard and expensive part of finding hooking up power steering, and fitting a fuel tank. After I get it running and driving I am going to install a front end loader on it that I bought for another cub. Hopefully I will be able to piece together a cat0 3-point before plowing season. Here are a few pics, sorry for the crappy cellphone quality.

If anyone has power steering parts forsale please e-mail or PM me.

The radiator is out of a honda civic, I just fabricated the mounts and rubber isolators, and the drive flange is a modified piece of a kohler that just needed a little adjusting on the lathe.
I will be taking some more pics in the next few days.

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.
