CC 189 Sub Super
I have been working on making a 189 Sub Super from an 1860 and a 149. If you are interested in how it started, what I have done to this point and for pictures you can look at this thread, http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=6202
I haven't worked on it in months but just got back to it yesterday. I got all of the fenders and dash fit with spacers to fit the super front and rear tires. My next big obstacle was the front grille from the 149 mating up with the wider front frame of the 1860. I cut the front of the frame off of the 149 and cut out a section from the 1860 frame for it to fit into. I wanted to make it look as close to a factory job as I could so I used the rounded edges from the 1860 frame and angled them up and welded them to the 149 frame piece to make a "saddle" for the engine. I then filled in with steel and welded it all together. Here are a series of pictures. The first one is what I started with (1860). #2 and 3 are showing how wide the front of the frame is on the 1860 and how the grille from the 149 didn't match up. #4 and 5 are pics of fitting the 149 front frame in. the rest are of the finished product. The last picture, well I thought I would take a permanent marker and make a temporary decal for inspiration for me. And yes that is a 1250 dash. I wanted to use the hydro lever on the right of the dash instead of the left. I choose the name Sub Super but saw that Scott Murphy had used it also, sorry for stealing your name but it is just to good not to use. I tried Micro Super and some others but they just don't have the "to the point" sound of Sub Super. Do you have any ideas of a name with Super in it that would work, i.e. Micro Super. I'll listen to anything you can come up with. Things left to do are install power steering, find a cat0 3pt hitch, try to work out a set of turning brakes, etc....... I might be done with it next year. This probably isn't that great to most of you but I am having a blast and learning a ton about these machines in the process. My fabrication skills are probably a little archaic but hey, it's getting done none the less. There is still a ton of work to do but just thought I would share what I have done so far. Thanks to all that have helped me out so far with answers to questions and parts.

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.
