Cub Cadet 4WD Pictures
I have been asked to share some pictures of the 4WD I built over the past couple years. I have worked most of the bugs out and need to take it back apart and give it a good paint job. That is something I have not been able to pull off, I "good" paint job.
I used 2 Case rear ends with hydraulic motors (high/low range) on each. Turned the front one backwards so the hydraulic hoses pointed back. Made the articulation joint using two bearing hubs from a car. This allows the tractor to both pivot and rotate. Used a motor which runs windows inside a car door connected to the chute rod to turn the chute from inside the cab. Moved the battery under the fender and put an oil cooler under the seat along with the garage door opener attached to the side of the cab. No use getting cold to open the garage door. Put two small fans from inside a computer under the oil cooler to create air flow. The windshield hinges up and is supported by the hood if you need to get to the engine. The hydraulics are plumbed in series to faciliate actual full time 4WD. Was a concern about back pressure on the first pump, but not a problem so far. I will try to get some pictures of the thing in motion when I can get one of the kids here who knows how to run the camera and help upload. Thanks for the interest in this project. My neighbor and I did a lot of sitting, thinking, looking, building, tearing back apart, and building again to get it to come together.

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.
