Default Narrow frame hydro foot control
Finally got somewhere one my project tractor this weekend and took it out for a test run, it's a 102 frame with a 1650 ported transaxle, 680 front axle with 1" spindles, 73 hood and grille, rebuilt 12 H.P. bored .010 over and foot controlled hydro, I was unsure when I started this project if I wanted to control the hydraulics or the hydro with a foot pedal I think I made the right choice, It's a blast to run, a few minor things to go over yet then it's tear it all down for paint, I think this one will be IH red since I still have some left from painting my Blazer.

Sawman,

That's a pretty tough looking tractor you have there. Looks like you have done some nice work.

Do you have any pictures of how you hooked up your foot pedal to the hydro?

Hey Thanks Guys, here's a few more pics, I hope you can make heads or tails out of it, hard place to get good pics. I put the hydro control shaft right in front of the brake cross shaft. The shaft for the hydro is out of the 680 just cut the handle off it, and grind a notch in it and added an inch or so where the linkage bolts on, used channel iron for the brake pedal to clear the tension nut and shaft for the hydro, all the linkage rods are from the 1650, brake linkage I used a turnbuckle (I cheated ) The linkage that pulls it into neutral when the brake is pushed is about all I have to fine tune yet. If I get this finished before the snow lands here my 149 and 126 won't get to play it.

Ok, here's a dumb question....how are you bringing the hydro foot pedal back to neutral? I don't see any springs in there at all...

No springs to return back to neutral, just roll the pedal back with your heel, or front if going in reverse, just like it is on the dash.

I would add some springs so that it can return to neutral by itself as a bit of a safety feature. Every tractor I've seen built with a foot control hydro has pedals that return to neutral by themselves.

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.
