Thanks for the help guys but I have spent a few hours on Surplus Center web site and there is not an "exact" fit for this loader. Either pin hole is to big, ends are to big, rod is to small, bore is way to big and almost every other combination. I think I will have to modify the cylinder mounting points when the time comes to accept a larger rod/cylinder end in some way. I took some measurements last night and with the research I did on many many many of the cylinders on Surplus, something will have to be modified. No biggie. I knew this FEL was going to be a "long term" project (i am on year 2 or 3 on the engine for the tractor I have decided to put it on). I could not pass up the price though. I am thinking a person could not buy, cut, weld the steel, for what I have, for the price I paid. I knew that going in. I now understand why FEL's are so expensive and if you can find one (working) for a "good" price its a steal. There is a 149, with same loader on it, on clist for $2500 very close to me. Ready to go. Out of my price range!!! I have only seen very few around me for less than $1000. So the price I paid was fantastic. But will have plenty of $$$ back into it, but do not have to shell out $$$$ up front for it and then maybe still have to "rebuild" something.

Thanks again for your help. I am happy to have it, even if it takes me a couple years to finish it. I have 6 Cub total that need some kind of attention. My time and money will be well spent some way.

Take care
John

Hand i think if it were mine i would find cylinders close to what i think i need for the proper stroke and then modify the cylinder not the loader. dont be scared of taking the cylinder apart and cutting off the end and welding on something more suitable for the loader. most loader cylinders are a welded type anyways
edit if i remember rite arron at extreme was now selling rebuild kits for johnson cylinders he might be able to tell you stroke and sizes and such cant hurt to hit him up im sure he would be glad to help if he can

I agree with gt383mag on both ideas... modify a cylinder that is close rather than messing with the brackets on the loader... and as he mentioned they do come apart pretty easy... Also I know a hydraulic shop can change the ends on a cylinder a lot cheaper than custom building a cylinder if you aren't comfortable with it..

You will love having a front end loader around.. I have and use one a lot... just not on a cadet... mine is a Farm Trac on a 345 New Holland

Supposed to be a Johnson Loader. I have not found anything yet on it.

Its not all there. Missing lift cylinders and hoses. Control valve froze. Control valve is getting a PB Blast spa treatment right now. If I can get them to free up it will get a 2+ month molasses spa treatment after. Looks like its spent a lot of time outside, as the rust shows. No rot. Looks to be all surface.

PO said it was in a fire. Burned the hoses and cylinders.

Was on a 1000 so it will fit WF QLs with ease. Got to get my 108 finished first.

Want to say Yosemite Sam bought it for me, but that would be wrong. But his money did go from my hand to the PO hand in about 2 hours.

Mark do you recognize the hood? HEHHEEHHE

I will not say what purchase price was but from what I have read, it was probably a "Lew" price.


This will be a subject of many future posts. Please beware!!!

Take care everyone!!

John
What model is your FEL? How many cylinders does it have? If three, I have a working center cylinder.

Good Luck,
Mark

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.
