Shop layout...
Just wondering how you guys have your shops laid out for working on Cubs? Bench sizes, storage, lighting, parts washing station, tool storage (roll around box or drawers in bench or nailed to wall, etc). Need to finish up my garage sometime this year and am looking for new ideas that "work". Open to suggestions and off the wall ideas. Have a two car garage now with an L shaped bench in the one corner with shelving underneath for 2/3 of it, doors close things up in the shelves. Everything is hanging off the wall right now and I need to straighten it up and make it look better. Don't have a lot of tools so you won't see an 8 foot Snap On or Mac Tools box rolling in the door anytime soon. Most of my tools could fit into two small red tool boxes that you would have behind your truck seat! :biggrin2.gif:

I have a 16X24 garage I will be converting over to a full workshop off and on this summer. I had pondered about tearing it down because the floor is starting to chunk up and it's about 60yrs old. But I'm planning on a 6x8 spray booth, and a 3x10 workbench. I may add in a seperate vise stand cemented into the floor if I decide to have the existing floor over layed. I'm also planning on wood heat for right now, I'd would like to heat the paint booth SAFELY also but not too sure how..

From what I can see it looks like a good start, but I cant make out to much
detail. Can you maybe enlarge it a little? My eyes are what they used to be. They say the eyes a the second thing to go.... I don't remember what the first thing was!

what kind of heat do you have in your house? Have you thought about some kind of radiant heat for the paint booth?

if you have money and need new concrete put in, you could go with a heated slab with hot water lines run throughout it. Nice warm floor to lay on in the winter.

20x26
In my 20x26 workshop. I have all my equipment down one side.starting with bolt bins,26" triple stacked tool chest,6'work table,drill press,torch,3x5 welding table.wire welder and plasma cutter.I did it this way so there is plenty of room to work on a car or truck.I am lucky to have a 20x15 storage room on the end of the shop and a 12x16 shed that I store my cub collection in.

Don't know if you plan on any electrical changes, but I ran two circuits for the outlets above my bench, every other outlet on a circuit as I go around. Don't have to worry about overloading a circuit if I am running two things. I also have a couple outlets on the ceiling and the retractible extension cord wheels on one of them.
I have replaced a couple of my fluorescent lights with 4' LED's and have been real happy with the brighter lighting. |

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.
