Default Creeper system....
My 108 does not have the creeper option. I was told to expect to pay around $250 for a complete system. Just checking if that sounds right. Anyone have one or know where to get one? I found one place on line but wanted to see if there are others.

Is this hard to install? My uncle is a wiz at this stuff but still wanted to get and idea what we are in for.

To get a good idea of what you are in for, check out the installation instructions in the service manual, which should be in the tech library portion of this site.

$250 seems a bit high, I see them go for more like 150-200 max lately.

I have read many times, here and elsewhere, that the Creeper was intended to slow the ground speed for snow blowers and other attachments.

It is evidently a rather weak system and NOT intended for more grunt while plowing, etc.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I would like to somehow make my 100 have a granny gear in 1st with a STRONG pulling ability. I find first gear to be pretty fast on my 100 for some duties.

Is there another gear or gearset I can buy? Perhaps something aftermarket meant for the pulling crowd?

My ideal setup would be a very slow Granny first gear, then 2nd about the speed that first is now. I never use above 2nd as it is.

I apologize if this is a hi-jack, but I have been shopping for and considering a creeper as well.

Regards, Brad

You already can't put the full power of the engine to the ground in first gear, so why do you think you need more torque?

Be sure your creeper is one from a wide frame as the handle is bent different on a NF one.

It is not that I feel I need MORE torque, it is that occasionally while working I would like the same full torque at a slower ground speed without worry of breaking something.

I am not pulling stumps mind you, I have a big tractor for that. I would just like to go a little slower while plowing, cultivating, etc.

I do not like to reduce throttle speed on any non-pressurized engine for fear of lack of proper lubrication.

Back on topic.... The creeper is sometimes a pain to install. You will have to remove the driveshaft and cut it. I am dreading and putting off installing mine because it is a pain. Lol

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.
