Over the weekend I was able to get the foot control made up. It is linked to the bottom of the hand control with a cross shaft running just below the filter.

Here's a video of it doing its main purpose, turning compost. This is my first time using the foot control so it's a little herky-jerky at times.

Very impressive build.

One word of warning, I notice that you are traveling with the loaded bucket in the raised position. That is a recipe for flipping it over. Always travel with a loaded bucket as close to the ground as possible.

This compost is pretty light and fluffy. But yes, with a bucket load of dirt you can feel the rear-end is pretty light and then I keep the bucket lower.

That brings up one design flaw, the bucket doesn't curl up as much as I'd like with the arms down. If it had about 10 more degrees of rotation it would be a little better.

Great work Rob. Always have seen the output shaft on the hydros with the hole in it, looks like it needed something and you hit the nail on the head. I've hauled a couple that I need to bring the ole Echo with me just to get out of the woods, awesome job with before and afters, I'm sure you get a headache counting all the hours you have in it.

Question, do you have a float function with the hyd. Control valve?

Lew already asked this but looks like you're in Zippy land, you guys should compare notes over some coldies.

The control valve doesn't have a float function that I know of.

I have Zippy's phone #, just need to get around to calling him.

I could've used that during the winter of 13/14. I like where you mounted the hydraulic pump. Yay for videos!

What he said (POTW Material )

Great looking machine, though! I'd love to have a loader on a Cub one day.

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.
