Not to oust the idea of using a cub, but if you look around you could get a small dozer or backhoe/loader for around $2000.

Easton, someone over on MTF built a backhoe on I think a wide frame Cub. He has some pics and maybe videos of it in action. You might want to check that out.

Thanks all. I like the idea of the 1772 or 1872. I want a monster cub anyways.
But, if a backhoe/loader (case, or equiv) pops up with a reasonable price tag, I'll probably grab it.
And I've been to the PF Eng. site, I could buy the plans, and build it no problem...but they say it's about $1200 in materials per unit...hoe, or loader.
So it starts to add up either way.
The reason for the thread was to weigh all my options.
Thanks guys.

If you plan on using a 1772 or 1872, you might want to look at replacing the rear end in it. I would question the strength of the aluminum housings to hold up to the weight of a backhoe. I do believe you can take the guts from the aluminum rear and put them in a cast rear. But I would make sure it wasn't a x82 rear end since they have aluminum axle tubes. Go for something older that is complete cast.

I'm more inclined to get a *82 series cub. I am alittle leary of a diesel..and the alloy rear turns me off.
But, the #82 models are just bigger with big twin cyl kohlers. Than the 1## models.
I believe a tractor should have no electronics also....the roper I had with a 16hp twin had a funky (I always had the local lawn and tractor shop do it) ign. sys.
Don't even know if a kohler twin can be had with a magnito, or points.
They may all be elec ign.
I have no idea.
I like the looks of yours AJgross.

Well the Kohler twins came in two flavors. The KT17 found in the 682's and 782's had points. The Magnum twins found in the newer tractors like the 1811, 1872, etc. had a magnito ignition.
In the early supers, they had a Onan twin. The "B" sereis had points and the newer "Performer" series had some sort of electronic isgintion. I'm not sure if it's a mag igniition or not. I've never messed with one.

Also thanks for the compliment on the 982.

eastonct124 - thanks for starting the thread, interesting stuff.

ajgross - I have an 1882. I understand that it has an aluminum rear end. Does it also have the aluminum axle tubes as well?

Yep...if it has an aluminum rear, the axle tubes are also aluminum.

The cast iron IH rear ends are fairly inexpensive and easy to find. Are they a direct bolt-in replacement for the early CCC aluminum rears?

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.
