A Cub full of Surprises!
 

After a long Time without Internet, I'm back here. Someone perhaps know the little red 128 Cub Cadet, that I purchased last Year. I sold it to a Friend and we repaired the Engine.
The first Surprise was the wrong Motor in it.

Few Weeks ago, I checked the Transmission Oil of the Gear Box, and it looks not well. So I thought, it will be good the open the Rear End Cover Plate. After that was done, I saw some Teeth and Parts, from some Tooth wheels.

Last Week, I had a little Time and parted the Transmission, and I saw the next Surprise, no Tooth wheels damaged, no Bearing damaged, all OK, only one Shifter Fork was broken.
I don't know from where the Parts are???

My Friend want to have a faster Cub, does someone know, what I can do with the Trans to make it a little faster?

Welcome back you were missed. I recall a recent post that asked the same speed question and the consensis was there is nothing to be done to speed up the ground speed by changing gears in the transmission.

just a side question what about the pinion change that can be done from Midwest super cub for pulling or the changed gear set

I don't know anything about changing these gears Georg, as I have never done it, but a guy who uses his cub as a puller told me that he will gladly buy any manual transmission from a cub that I can bring him from the '60's cubs. I asked about if they needed to be working or not and he said that he didn't care because he replaces the gears with gears from a Dodge Dart rear end. I'm not a puller, so I don't know what that does, but it might speed it up more...maybe?

Glad to have you back, I enjoy hearing from your side of the pond.

Yes, you can make gear changes in the reduction gears and pinion to make your ground speed faster.

Hopefully some of the pullers will be along to help guide you in the right direction.

Paul,
That was only in reverse. MWSC has faster gears, like cjrolke mentioned.

Georg,
They are kind of pricey, and I don't know how much faster your friend wants to go, but they are offered. There are several gear combinations you can run, but with most combinations, you will lose your slower working gears. If he does any work like using a blade or a tiller, you would probably be better off leaving it alone.

Glad to see you posting, Georg! Keep us updated on your 128.

yes, i will keep you updated, thanks for the Help. The Tractor is not mine, it's from a Friend, and i must ask him if i want to buy some Things for the Cub.

Yesterday, i had Time to work to the Transmission of the Cub. My Friend and his Son helped me.
We tooked the old Toothwheels for it, no change in Trannsmission Speed. We changed the Axle Oil Seal Rings, and replaced the Gaskets with Fluid.

Nice work Georg! Looking good!:beerchug:
