Default Cat 0 lift mod 1864

Decided to try a lift capacity modification on my OTHER 1864. Wanted to do it as economic as I could while being able to have the 3pt separate from the deck lift. From start to finish it took me about 6 hours. Half of that time was spent swearing and thinking.

I still have some loose ends to tie up and need to weld the float straps on when Jeff gets around to milling them.

Going to try it out on my R-Bucket tomorrow.

Thanks guys!!

Well I tested it out today, good results. I think a 3pt is not useful if it does not lift the front end off the ground. This one will do that now! The first test was lifting the front of a 782 with 120 lbs of suitcase weights in the bucket. This lifted the front end off the ground.

The second test was loading the bucket full of rock without struggle. SO, Im satisfied for a secondary tractor 3point.

The lift travel is 12", which is what it was by using the extended holes previously, only the 3pt would not even lift 150 lbs in the bucket. My hydraulic pressure has remained the same ( 800 psi ) as always so this was a very fair test.

So i figured with GREAT SUCCESS last week that it was ready for work. I went to go get some rock and discovered that it will pick the front end clear up off the ground at full lift. Awesome.

Wasnt till i was driving down one of the busier streets in Humboldt that the i noticed the bucket whopper jawed and the tractor pulling to the right.

Bent 3pt arm, flat tire (had problems all mowing season, rappidly amplified by extra weight) backed into ditch to unload and rim spun inside tire and the low fuel light came on... Phone almost dead, Called Nightow1 to help. Aired the tire up and came home.

Mission aborted.

Going to build more robust 3pt arms similar to ones XMW has, put my new 23° Firestones on and put more fuel in the 18, then give it another go. Wish me luck!

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.
