Default 6x4 Cub

For my current project I decided to build my self a 4x6 cub from my collection of parts machines.

The frame and grill comes from 2 123's and the steering pedestal and ported hydraulic pump on the front drive axle came from a 1450. I've made progress since this picture was taken, the motor has been set in place and the driveshafts have been made and installed.

Eventually there will be a dump bed behind the seat but that can wait until after I've got it running and driving.

I've often thought about building the exact same thing but was concerned it wouldn't turn very well or at all with a load in the bed.

I'm about 30 min north of Madison.

For now it will be powered by a 12 horse k-series Kohler but I may upsize it depending on how well it performs having to drive both rear ends.

As for turning it defiantly won't turn as sharp as a stock cub but the front drive axle does have split brakes to help bring it around in a pinch

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.
