Well, I finally finished this a couple weeks ago and had a chance to test it by putting in some wildflower beds for my mom. It works great! None of the three belts slipped, and the engine doesn't even know the tiller is there. It's nice to be able to remove or install the tiller in about 5 minutes, which is possible since the gearbox stays attached to the tiller.
100_8187 (Medium).jpg Before I could use it I had to come up with a belt that would work, which is mostly why it's been a year between posts about this. The original belt for this application is NLA, and any suitable belt I found was very expensive. I decided to make a jackshaft to mount under the tractor so I could use the deck belt from my 50C, as well as the existing mule drive with the angled pulleys so I wouldn't need another mule drive. I had a couple of pulleys and heavy-duty flanged bearings around, and I made a keyed shaft for it. I then put together a structure to hold the bearings and pulleys, offsetting it about 2.5" to the left to match the angle of the mule drive pulleys, and then I was able to use an additional short, cheap ($21) belt back to the tiller. I added a tensioner borrowed from a 2000 series deck that I parted out. No additional holes were drilled in the tractor; all existing ones were used to mount the bearing/pulley assembly. 100_7881 (Medium).jpg 100_7883 (Medium).jpg 100_7884 (Medium).jpg

I really like how that turned out. Like Duke said, that dirt looks awesome. A lot better than the red clay here.

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.
