Kurt,
I cant imagine how you can do one of these in 2 months! Took me 4-5 months to do a std Cub
Great job on getting the scale right. How do you build the rear wheels? Spokes?
I am going back to review your information.
As others have said, Amazing work!
Thanks for posting the pictures as you progressed from a std cub to this custom machine!
Regards,
Chris

Thanks again everyone.

I use 16 inch x 8 inch wide rims on the rear, the tires stand 31 inches tall.

You need to remember, I'm working 30-50 hours a week on these tractors. They are "technically" my "job" if you want to call it that. I get to have fun building other people's toys... now if I could only come up with a "duplicating machine" so I could keep a copy for my self... The rear rims are standard implement rims. I have "hub extensions" made to widen the track, and change the bolt pattern.

Kurt

Kurt,
Heck I think I was working 30-50 hours part time per week on my 147 this summer
Thanks for the info on the rims.
I would love to build something like one of these, and you may just give me the inspiration to do it!
Do you prefer std shift or the hydro version? Looks like most are Hydros??
How much engine work do you do? Complete rebuild on the engine too?
Sorry for all the questions but this stuff is really neat and you do a great job. Checked out your web site/blog. Very nice too!
Regards,
Chris

This tractor is based on a late '60's Cub Cadet 124. The whole front end is steel, the side hood panels are aluminum with a steel panel in the center.

Take a look at the website for more picts...

The more I look at this creation of yours, the more I . I am wondering though, can you get wider tires in the style and size you use? I think it would look really neat with tires almost twice as wide. Leave the front ones the same, but with a set of meaty tires on the rear. That would also look cool. DON'T get me wrong - I am not bashing what you have done, that is one heck of a great creation. I am just wonder/thinking the wide tires would also look cool. Especially with the square fenders you have. I just have a thing for wider tires? Odd I know.

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.
