Re-purposed 1250
Hello all,
New member here, but have been lurking for awhile. What a wealth of great info and ideas here, not to mention all the great looking rebuilt Cubs! Very inspiring!  I currently have 2 Cubs. A Super LT 1554 I use for mowing about 3 1/2 acres, and on old 1250 carcass, no motor but otherwise intact, that I need help with.I am in need of a LOT of help and suggestions to re-purpose the old 1250.  I am building my retirement, so to speak, and will be building a "trackless train", similar to the pic below, using the 1250 as the locomotive. I bought the 1250 specifically for the hydro trans and cast iron rear end since I will need strong smooth pulling power. I am a carpenter by trade, so I shouldn't need much help with the body or cars, but I definitely need help with the engine and trans.So for now, I'll start with my first dilemma. I have a 16hp B&S Vanguard I plan on re-powering with, but the drive shaft will be too short. No problem in having a new one made, but can I get rid of the rag joints and use u-joints? I need the 1" shaft on the motor for a pulley to drive an alternator and possibly a compressor, but I don't see a way to use the pulley and rag joint together.  Any suggestions appreciated, as well as any other words of wisdom.Thanks, Paul

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.
