That thing is going to be beastly when you get her done. The heart of a super and the vintage good looks of 1x9 series, I'm sooo jealous. Nice work man!

Default dual remote hydraulics

Well after a lot of work and test fitting I think I have the dual hydraulics figured out. I can't afford a nice dual valve so I used what I had, two single valves, one from a 149 and the other from a 1450. I mounted one on the left side that will be for the lift cylinder. I was able to use the handle from a 149, just reversed everything so the handle would be on the left side.
The valve for the front remotes is on the right side of the pedestal and I used the PTO lever from a 149 to work it with. I had to cut the handle shorter since it had to be mounted up so high. I had to make a spacer for the valve to clear the hydro lever, man is it tight inside that pedestal! I like this set up because it keeps the looks of the 149, only difference is the levers are on the opposite sides that they should be on.
I spent a day and a half just making the hydraulic lines. I've never done that before and it was a challenge. All of the bends had to be spot on. I have to brag here, I only made on bad bend and had to throw that line out. I just pray that there are no leaks. I used a 37° flaring tool, a cheap one but it sure looked like good flares to me and it flared the tubing easily.
I put the drive-shaft in place to work around to make sure I cleared it. I couldn't think of anything else that would be in the area so I went for it.
Since there are so many lines under the power steering valve I think I will make a skid plate for extra protection. This will never have a mowing deck on it so the plate wouldn't be in the way. Also, in the pictures, the steering valve isn't as low as it looks. It is right where the steering is on an 1862.

Thanks Duke and Dale. Hey, "Duke and Dale", that sounds like a movie or a song title.

I don't know how it will turn out but I have to say, I have learned more about CCs from doing this than anything I have done so far. If it aint so great it is still a great experience that I wouldn't regret for one second.

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.
