I have a 54" power angle blade for it to repaint. I also had a 54" deck that I now determined won't fit....soooooo...one I figure out what I'm gonna do with this thing I post more pics and comments.

Nice tractor!! It sure is clean looking! :IH Trusted Hand:

Nice!! Now tell us what all you did to it and what you used from what tractor. What makes it a Sub Super, the PS and front couplers?

Nice job, Scott! Your tractor looks great. :ThumbsUp:

Great looking cub! Loving the look of all these wide rear tires that have been being posted as of late. Got to get me some of those!

fine looking cub you got there. :beerchug:

What brand of tires are those on the rear

i didnt follow in the custom but looks like you have a SGT front and rear? has this made it diffacult for attachments to fit up?

Hey guys thanks for the comments on the 1706. I was originally inspired by the 1806 I had a lead on last year but the guy wanted way too much for a roller so I looked around and bought a 580, better for the CI tranny anyway.
We have some steep hills here in TN and I'm constantly working the hydro lever so once I drove the 580 and realized how smooth and steady on the hills it is...well...here I am.
As for the hydraulics, ahhhh, lift levers just don't set well with me.
I bought a 54" GT deck for this and now I find that with the 26x12x12s and 18" tires in the front on a GT frame I'm about 2" short on wheel base. A 50" will work and I have one on my 1811 but...we'll see where it leads.
I'm currenty blasting a 54" power angle blade for it today so atleast it's serve some purpose for now.
This took me about 9 months to build in off time and I have yet to add up the reciepts.
One thing I've done with my cars in the past (cars are like boats these days to me, holes in the water) is I like to keep the factory colors and lines while adding my own personality to it. One thing I accomplished (I think) is to keep the fact that it has full hydraulics added without changing the factory look and most folks so far have not put the stick and hydraulics together yet.

BTW most of my time invested was spent hunting down parts and finding parts that will work with eachother and also finding good deals. I'll have to list all the parts sometime but it probably took about 9 different tractors to put this together.

Thanks guys.

The only real difference between the way this one sits and a Super is the short frame length. The other thing is the battery tray/fender pan support is a little taller thus setting the fender off the rear wheels, I did weld in shims to raise the fender enough to make it look comfortable round the rear tires.
