I wouldn't put a chain drive on a work tractor. Unless you have the chain inside of a sealed case, it will get dirty and wear out very quickly. It was designed from the factory to be belt drive for a reason...

I would not be afraid to put a chain on one. You just need to use the rite kind. I would definitely suggest a sealed O-ring type chain. And some guards would a plus. The chain is not going to get any more dirt on it then a dirt bike, four wheeler, or any other chain driven farm equipment would.

I know the purists hate the idea but as Bollis said it will works on a dirt bike and most of them have a lot more power than you can stuff in a Cub it should work.

I would try the belt tensioning as well first but my dad has had a chain drive tractor with about 16 hp wisconsin twin for as long as i can remember and maybe changed it once. Just kept it oiled up once in awhile. It also has three drive belts in parallel for clutching that get have to get changed every year! Good luck but i wouldnt be afraid of the chain mod if you wanted to!

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.
