The decals did come from Maple-Hunter. Engine has an 18hp cam,.030" over piston,and a 3 angle valve grind. I used a red Midwest clutch spring set at 5". The other clutch componets are stock , added a creeper and spring assist,sleeve hitch set-up along with a tiller gear box. I did this tractor the hard way by converting a 1650 to a gear drive,adding the lift handle and associated parts. Since I got a few supers it sets in the garage.

WOW! I would hate to see what that K341 will do to the creeper. Those creepers weren't designed to handle that kind of hp.

Conner let me know how those solid mounts work. I've been curious about them for a while now.

I hope my "148" and "168" look half that good when I finish them. Were the 1600" decals custom made? I called MH about some custom decals for mine and I got a very abrupt "NO".

CCC used basically the same creeper on the 1606 and 1806, and I've never heard of somebody pulling off a creeper that got torn up, but I'd be more concerned about that spring and the creeper bearing. The load that stiffer clutch spring applies is much higher than the axial load the bearing is designed to handle.

I can not get enough traction to stall a 10HP engine in 1ST gear without a creeper,,,,,,

What would you have to do to get enough traction to worry about the creeper??

Hook it to a weight transfer sled??

I would not worry about the creeper because the tractor will always be traction limited.

I feel the creeper will only be useful to change speeds, not add wheel torque.

The creeper will be great for a snow blower, or a tiller, or my use,

letting the tractor crawl across the lawn in 1ST gear low creeper at an idle by itself as I throw in sticks that fall from the trees each winter.

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.
