Well, as some of you might have saw...I have been looking for a WF roller, to put a freshly rebuilt .020 over K341 in, out of my 1650.


I was planning on fixing the 1650 that it came out of...but got looking at some of the places where the motor mounts have put holes in the frame (wear over time) and decided to get a different frame, and to get away from the ISO mounts.


Joe (Jluster) and I have decided to do some trading, and tomorrow I am getting his 109 with a blown motor. My plan is to put the K341 in it.....with a 3 speed/clutch from a 124. Then I will call it a 168...







Will try to get some pictures tomorrow when Joe gets here.

Sounds like a good plan.You will have to change the brake lever on the brake pedal rockshaft from a gear drive also.

Heavier spring for the clutch might also not be a bad idea with the extra horsepower, sounds like a cool project!

Thanks! I suspect it will be mean with a 12" plow!



I have 3 bare wide frames that were gear drives. I can get the lever from one of them.

My first Cub Cadet was a "148" built from a 86, and I tried everything except a new spring to keep that clutch hooked up!!

The clutch would just slip in third gear. Very disappointing build.

I did ask a lot of that tractor though,,,

It may have been due to my fluid filled tires, lots of inertia to overcome.

My QL 1000 will do more than the 148 would do.

Interesting...maybe a 1806/582, or even a pulling spring.

Will defiantly have to look into putting a heavier spring in it. And thanks! Always have thought it would be cool to try it!

Maybe Dale (Merk) will chime in. He once told me about using a cultivator spring.

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.
