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.

That's pretty freekin sweet, what engine you going to be running?
Welcome to OCC.
What part of wisconsin are you from?

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

I sure like it! And any one knows me, knows I seldom leave anything stock.

Looks like fun! :beerchug: Yeah, turning might not be too fun.. :bigthink:

Looks like it could go into a grader too!

Are both axles under power. If they are shoot some pictures of the drive line. Very interesting build. :bigthink:

Welcome to OCC.:beerchug:
Cool looking project, please keep us up to date on the build...:beerchug:

Very cool! Please post some more pictures especially of the manner in which you drive both axles. I like it!
