Default 1608

Hey guys I've got my eye on a roller 128 with creeper and paintbrush red... My dad loves my 128 that I have, so I have special plans for this one. I have a 16 horse Kohler going in it, new paint, side panels, PTO taken off and hydraulic lift and at least 2 auxiliary hydraulics. stack (s?) is a given, and Ag tires. Input that I'd like: what colors would make this tractor look awesome? I'd like it to look like a field tractor instead of just another lawn mower. Decals, since it's a 16 hp gear drive in a 1x 8/9 frame with ql sheet metal, is 1608 an appropriate number? Where could I get decals made for it? Also, I'd like it to look a bit stock... So how can I squeeze a hydraulic reservoir in there?any ideas? Also, I'll be in need of small hydraulic valves, 6x12 rims (4 of course) and any ideas that will make this tractor reliable, strong, and the best cub I own

To me, a 1608 would be a MTD built 16hp 4sp geardrive with a creeper. I think what you would want to call it, would be a 168. Good luck with it.

I've been wanting to make a 1600 for awhile. Its like you read my mind. I think you can run a power steering pump of the little pulley next to the fly wheel or of the front. I've seen people run them of the front but idk if they use the pto cluitch or if they take that off and put a different pulley on. Keep us posted on your progress

Nick, it's a wf so you can put factory hydraulics on it without a auxillary pump. Also, remember that they clutchs on these were never meant to have a 16hp bolted to them, so you will need to really beef up the clutch. I would recommend a red spring and a heavy duty friction disc.

Wait. Geardrives. Nevermind about the hydraulics. Brain fart there.

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.
