I think you could put a yard cart box on for a dump. Looks cool.

The idea was simple enough, just like the 4x4 articulating machines seen on this site, I am simply trying to combine 2 cubs into one. Comparing tire sizes one day I had backed a trans from a 102 back up to my newly painted 122, going with the "stand back and look at it" principle for success I had created a monster idea. The most rear trans is used as a carrier bearing and weight. The power comes from chain & sprockets bolted to the wheel hubs. Looking similar to dual wheel adapters the inner sprocket is welded & spaced by a 2"x2"x6" tube, the same tube used to make attachments for my front receiver hitch. The outermost piece to the "drive spacer" is a 1/8"x6"x6" plate that has the lug pattern drilled & tapped. The frame extension is made of a C channel (8"x3") cut in half * drilled to fit the two trans-axles with even spacing for smooth operation.

Overall I enjoy the simplicity of it. The rigid frame, less the front, seems to work nicely for my chores. It handles weight nicely, I tested it & +/-800# & noticed the turning radius seemed to get large quickly on asphalt. On dirt it doesn't tear up anything more than my ags did. I have NOT been able to get it stuck yet tho. Because each side is locked & rigid I don't find the machine digging holes like the factory setup did, rather staying relatively level & not creating deep ruts. Thanks for the comments thus far, seems to be an enjoyable simple project & I will keep updating.

Default Spacing

I was wondering what the spacing is between the rear tires? Is the 2nd rear end in any gears when you are operating the tractor or is it that the front rear end gears drive through your chain. I think this is a very good idea. And could be a heck of a snow pusher. GREAT JOB

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.
