thanks for replies, I also like threads with lots of pictures.

got a pulley mounted on the driveshaft; plan to drive this hydraulic pump. still a lot of work get it going.... but it's a start. it will power the hydraulic hoist, steering and snow plow if all goes as planned. got the hydraulic steering setup of Ebay, seller said it came off an 1864.

the axle "beam" is heavier for sure. but everything else has got to be stronger. with the center axle pivot gone and wider width, I think it will be more stable carrying a load. each tire payload is 975 lbs.

still no steering yet....

mounted steering cylinder in non-standard location, (i'll have to modify snow plow mounting later)

Also had some difficulty, but got orbital valve and steering shaft in it's mounting location. still need to make a couple mounting brackets and modify steering column housing/bushing.

Is it just me or is there a flying rat rod trying to escape your shop?. You have a very impressive work space. That car lift is awesome! AND the Cub lift is pretty slick. Thanks for the pictures.

I like the idea of the solid front axle. I have no idea how much weight and how high you want to carry it but whatever, it will make the tractor more stable than if you had a pivot.

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.
