Hydraulic pumps, manual transmissions.
 

This is a cub cadet 800 with a 14hp k321 engine. I drilled the mounting plates of a jd 110 hydro pump to fit my head and it works good enough for the 1 cylinder I'm using. Has any one installed an aftermarket pump setup like what's on log splitters to the front of these engines or would I be able to get away with a cub cadet pump?
The jd pump has started to make a bearing noise last couple days and want to upgrade. Plus they are not rebuild able to to its age.

Check your JD pump to see that it has sufficient oil in the reservoir.
Sometimes if the fluid is cold it will make a noise, it is called cavatation.

I think we need more and higher resolution pictures of this setup, that cultivator looks neat!

I agree with this statement

You did that to an 800?!?
Nice job, but the 800 is THE most rare Cub.....

I have no idea what you mean by you "drilled the head of the JD 110 pump"...


Sure, you could put another hyd pump on the front and drive it off the crank.

John,
I think, and it is only a guess, he said he drilled the mounting plates for his
head , so I'm thinking he used a JD 110 optional deck lift pump mounted on his cub head.
In the back of my foggy mind that is what I am envisioning anyway.
Seems like they just use a 203 ball bearing behind the pulley, but it's been a while since I saw one, and longer since I had one apart.:beerchug:

I agree Jonathan, 800s are rare.

I know the 800 was "RARE." The condition of the tractor was less than desirable. The motor had a hole in the block, electrical was cut up, missing sheet metal and the metal that was on it was dented from being a shelf. Plus no deck or parts.

The pump is exactly what ol' George said.

I will have to have the wife use her camera to take better pics.

The tractor is still very very far from complete. It's just a wild hair that has snow balled. I made the cultivator after I was having troubles with the sleeve hitch and then that's when the duals came into play. I understand that I have probably ruined the tractor to diehards. But I do use it and love playing with it.

I like it.

We definitely need to see more pics of it. What size are the rear tires?

:WWP::WWP::WWP:


I'm disappointed it's an 800. But the thing that makes an 800 an 800 is all under the hood. Outside of that, they are just a gear drive QL. Well.... the serial number, but hey.

Tire are Superstrong 9.5-16. The front are 18x8.50-8 Vredestein.
