Mark, I don't think that one runs off a rear PTO. I'm pretty sure he used a tiller gearbox turned 90° so the output shaft faces the rear.

Is this the one you were thinking of? If it is, I think it's Merk's.

IMHO, if you don't have a rear PTO and don't want to spend the $$$ on one. You could do it like that. Benefit: the PTO would turn the "correct" direction.

I thought about the tiller gear box thing to make a cat 0 snowblower attachment. Here in SE PA, a blade is enough 90% of the time, but there is always that one storm where you need a blower, plus it would be handy to use to clear the end of the drive, mailbox etc. and just plain cool. I think it would spin the right way? I thought about it for a few min and confused myself! HaHa. Then I can leave the blade on the front since it will be used more. Gotta make the 3 pt lift independent first...

That belongs to my Dad.
It does run off the tiller drive. I have used this set up and it is fun to run.

You could use a rear PTO to run the mower if your Cub Cadet has a rear PTO. One draw back is the rear PTO is not live......meaning the clutch has to be engage for the attachment to run. The tractor doesn't stop as quick when the rear PTO and attachment (rear mower) is engage.

Sorry, that's just how I feel.

BTW he still has a rear pto listed for $600.00.

It's nice to see the sponsors of this forum bad mouthing other members. The ones that cry foul are the ones that don't want to ante up. I built that tractor from the ground up piece by piece starting with housing. So I believe I have the right to take it apart piece by piece.

BTW I paid over 600 for one of my rear pto's for the original. Just one of those things that I had to have at the time.

If it's like it's big brothers then a heavy enough moving rear impliment will continue to push the tractor forward, even with the clutch pushed in. Dad had to put a PTO slip clutch on his W-9 with his field mower. The PTO is not live in a W-9 so you'd have to clutch to engage pto and transmission, but when you'd go to stop/shut the pto off you'd shove in the clutch and the rotary mower spinning would continue to drive the tractor forward. The pto slip clutch eliminated that.

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.
