Sorry, I do not.

I want to make a correction as well. Dan's last name is spelled Hoefler not the way I spelled it above.

Boy, I'd sure like to try something like that. You'd have an unstoppable machine.

There probably isn't a T-case that is small enough to fit inside the framerails of a NF Cub, but you could certainly use the overall design of what is out there for a much larger machine. The chaindrive NP T-case in full size pickups comes to mind here as I've seen the same design of chain & sprockets available in a smaller size (Bearings & Drives or Motion Industries?). It isn't a standard roller chain, something more like a V8 timing chain makeup. Either way, it's something to start with.

It would be kinda neat to make something that would resemble an Elwood kit for the Farmalls that might have or could've been provided for the Cubs and still give you enough room to have your deck in it's normal spot under the belly of the tractor.

I found this picture on the Web on a page with the pictures that jbollis posted at the beginning of the thread. I'm not sure what model Cub the transmission came off of, as the reduction housing doesn't look like the one I have in my 100, but the transmission in the picture does have a PTO in the same spot, and probably driven in the same way, as Dan's sketch displays.

Sounds like a few of you would really dig having a 4x4 Cub in your collection. I'm hoping to give it a go over this coming winter as something to do while the snow falls.

I would definitely be interested in a 4x4 conversion. I do not think the use of the deck is going to be an option though. Unless you could find a really small top loader axle, the drive shaft will be in the way. I do know the front axle on my dads x585 JD is a top loader. I have never really looked to see if it could shortened. It is definitely to wide as it sits for a cub.

And remember the trans case will have to driven from the output shaft of tranny. Or else you will only be able to use 4x4 in one gear. Have you looked at a primary drive chain from a Harley ? I am pretty sure that a cub would not break one of those. Same idea as a timing chain, just better.

Just had to bump this up on a rainy day. I've had 4x4's since 1976 (1948 CJ2a). I'd love to have the skill, money and time to build something like this.

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.
