Looking good, beast! I like the suggestion of mounting it low. That shouldn't cause any issues with a mower deck will it?

Your front tires and wheels look pretty nice! beautiful paint job!

not going to be running a mower deck. All components to do so have been removed for the loader/backhoe.

If you are going to be using a loader on that
thing you might want to brace the spindle.
I don't have a loader, just a mower deck, and it started cracking.

Well ran into more problems last night. The ported hydro pump for the power steering it just slightly too tall for the tunnel on a narrow frame. The lever that you use to release the valves for pushing/towing hit the taller detente for the ported pump that sits just ahead and in between the release valves. Not sure what im going to do. A good set if auto releases would solve my problem but cost me an arm and a leg. Making a new lever there is going to be complicated to get around the interference. Any body have a good solution there??

I was wondering if i was going to have to do that, but was hoping that it would be good. Sounds like I am not going to get so lucky. Did you do just the arm that connects to the ram/steering box, or all 3?

Just the one pictured, L. side.
Also I added the 2 bolts on the front side of the axle,( one on either side) to stop the axle from being pushed fwd/backward from the added push of the power assist cylinder, IIRR the supers with power steering have that.
As far as auto valves, they are nice, watch ebay you might get lucky or someone here has them.
And if they leak a fellow rebuilds them for like $35 Ea.

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.
