Default Cyclops limited slip differential?
Has anyone ever heard of a way to make the rear end limited slip, or do I need to rig up some steering breaks on my 1541?

Steering brakes will be your only option...no limited-slip differential.

In my day we used to use a Lincoln locker, as there were no such thing as posi, limited slip etc.
It consisted of a couple of 7018 Lincoln welding rods,
We welded the spider gears, preventing them from turning.
Wasn't very practical for turning corners, but we were just concerned about going straight for 1/4 mile and that it did well.

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.
