Well, a rainy week means I have time to tinker with the shredder. I gave up quickly on the idea of finding the "correct" mounting brackets for this thing, and vetoed the idea of making them. I honestly think the front mount design is a poor design (and I will not say that my plans are any better). A PO that had this was working on making it run from the back. I am going to try and adapt this design to my 72 (anyone who has tuned into my posts will see I finally might have a use for this 72!) Pics to come shortly.

I started off tonight by mounting this rear plate that came with the shredder. It bots to the three bolts that the hitch mounts to. I plan on running the chipper sideways on these mounts and bolting the chipper to the bracket with some angle iron brackets im building up.

My plans for the drive belt are similar to a tiller. Using one long belt off the
PTO, through a mule drive, and builing a set of idler pulleys inbetween the bracket channels to run the belt up to the shredder pulley. Then that way I can use the mule drive to tightem/loosen the belt. If this design dosnet work well I may split the belt in two with a exchange pulley in the center of the tractor. More pics here. I mounted the screen in tonight as well.

That will be neat on the back. Have you thought about trying to make it run off a rear pto? Finally have a cool use for one besides making ice cream. Which way does the chipper spin, may have to turn it around and drive it from the other side. I know the 72 doesn't have rear pto, but one of those machines in your sig does I'm sure! Regardless, cool project!

haha, you are right! I do have several rear PTO tractors around. I have thought about that, but I dont think I could get enough rpm's out of it...

Any constructive ideas or thoughts are welcomed!

There are a few of you guys that have all the fun toys! I thought the rear pto was the same as engine rpm, no? I don't know much about them, just they spin backwards.
Thats a pretty big pulley on the side of the chipper compared to the pto pulley so it should spin slower than engine speed......maybe the same as the rear pto. HaHa

Big pulley, little pulley. Change them to get the speed right. NBD.

Two things: 1.)That's a lot of weight to be hanging off of 3 3/8" bolts. Might want to make a brace.
2.)If your going to drive it off the rear and you don't use the rear PTO, why not just use a tiller gear box. That way you can use the same belt. Just unbolt the box and turn it 90°. The rear gearbox plate is made so you can do that. The holes are already there. (On the newer style, some of the old gearbox brackets didn't have both sets of holes.)

Rear PTO's on the gear drives run 540 RPM. The ones on the super's run faster...... 1800 I think, but I'd have to look.

Looking forward to your build Ryan! Definitely unique with the chipper mounted on the rear.

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.
