Not really Cub related but I did build some items for our maple hobby:
- a stainless steel gear pump to make maple cream adapted to run from the front drive on a big Hobart mixer.
- base and structure's to hold the stainless pan and pig for a maple candy machine.
- a stainless and copper Steam-away for our 3x10 evaporator to boil syrup more efficiently. Took several months to work out the design. and about a year to complete it from mostly salvaged stainless steel.
- a sap dumping station for the back of the pick-up to pump sap into the 325 gallon tank on the truck. 12 volt pump and a plastic 55 gallon drum fits into truck receiver and the pumps plug into the power outlets for trailers.
- simple saw horse/ rack to hold a pallet while it is chainsawed to small bite size pieces. I cut 8.5 cord of pallets each summer to feed the maple syrup evaporator next spring.
- a 33 x 26 sugarhouse for that hobby.
Regards,
Chris

Heck I didn't realize we were just voting! I thought this was the real deal

Here is the 3 x 10 syrup arch I restored and re-tinned with stainless. Also in the upper right is a syrup caner made from a discarded gas grill, cut down and added a stainless pan to hold and heat 10 gallons of finished maple syrup for bottling.

Sorry this is related to another hobby, Hence the name!

I don't throw much away. and like to make something from just about nothing.
In the right picture (that's my son Eric doing the MIG welding) you can kind of see the $5.00 hand break, 5 foot long, I built from scrap angle iron, and used it to make all the bends for the steam away stainless panels.

Regards,
Chris

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.
