Sam, I was doing some research last night on beefing up a Cub Cadet rear and came across this site. Lots of great tips on parts swapping. Looks like the way to go is cast iron case, two piece carrier with ring and pinion from cast rear, 30 mm axles and bore axle tubes to accept larger axles and seals. I would then swap my SGT pump output shaft and reduction gear and use the hydro pump from the 1864 Cyclops. I have all the parts to do the swap, SGT rear, 1864 Cyclops rear with good hydro pump and large axles and carrier and a 782 cast iron rear, just would have to buy the necessary gaskets,seals and bearings. Boring the axle tubes for the larger bearings will not be an issue for me as I have both a lathe and vertical mill. Since my goal is to just get the frame painted and the motor running before I start spring farming I will do the rear end swap later this summer.
Later.
Tom
