They didn't make a vertical exhaust for these Cubs, all the ones you see are home-made. If you go that route, make sure you support it well! That part of the block is very thin, and you risk cracking the block, among other things.

Thanks. What kind of mufflers are you all using? And does it make it quieter? Or mainly for looks? I am getting a metal carport this weekend and gonna enclose it to make myself a shop. And these cubs are first on list for "or"

Most guys just turn the existing exhaust upright, so other than looks it serves no purpose. Stock muffler on most, so no it's not any quieter.


Just a question, but why don't you take that blower off. It won't get stuck so easy without all the extra weight....

True, plus that weight hanging off the front makes the rear a little lighter. With my blower on I can't back into my shed, but with it off I can back in no problem.

Have been so busy working i just havent had time! Been working real odd hours on a house i am repairing and trying to get it on the market for sale. The owners run a daycare with 13 kids other than their 5 so i have to work around their schedule so i have been gettin up there around 9am to work up stairs about 6pm i can move down to day care and not getting home til midnight if i am lucky! Been running my self ragged to get it done because they just bought house in Martinsville VA. and need this done asap! Sorry for long reply but you asked I was just in hurry to get a cart of wood in out of rain to dry out. My boys did not cover pile to great and we got some crazy rain and wind and cover blew off. Will get blower off today when i get it out. Before i head back to work! Was slow all winter except a few frozen, busted water lines and finally phone is ringing and every one wants sh*t done NOW!
Soon everything will be coming off!! Got carport coming thats gonna become garage and they will be in for make overs! May have to lock me self in and get a cott but it will happen.
Is there anyway to make diff lock for posi without welding gears?

No. Get both loaded tires on one machine. I think you will find they track pretty evenly.

If you get up Cortland way Tallmadge tire or Trombley tire on Groton Ave has pretty good prices on ag tires.

IMO that's why the upright mufflers are a bad idea on cub cadets. Not to mention they look silly, and the exhaust tip is at eye level.

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.
