Overdrive gears
I would like to make one of the Cub Cadets faster for riding trails and stuff. Has anyone here done this? I see overdrive gears are available up to 48% overdrive. Is it worth the trouble or just build a race tractor out of a belt drive cub?

once you get to anything 26% and up there's some machine work to do to the reduction housing . you have to remove the rear to get the reduction housing off. a 43 % in 3rd gear is about a 16 mph gear. might want to tighten up your steering or you might find yourself on your side

I think anything over 8-10 mph off road would be dangerous. There is no suspension, after all, and all the bumps are transmitted directly to your backside, potentially throwing you off. On smooth surfaces, I guess you could go much faster. I think I'd be looking for a helmet, though.

Not sure who made it, but when we purchased our "O", it came with this larger pulley to go on the engine. It REALLY speeds up the Original!
Here's a quick video of the tractor with the big pulley installed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
