When i bought this tractor from the IH dealership it was a CC 125 with the standard 12hp engine in it. I wanted more HP, so we worked out an even trade to a K321 14hp with the agreement it gets shipped loose and i install it myself. Well after discovering the flywheel was wider than the frame, we had to widen the frame out (again cheaply) so we heated the sides up with a torch and pounded them out until the engine and flywheel fit (with alittle extra room) onto the frame. After rebuilding the PTO clutch, new points, spark plug and voltage regulator, we were in business. This photo was taken at the church pavilion yesterday. I was out hauling 2B stone filling in holes in the parking lot.

The body wasnt that bad. With local amish welders their prices weren't that bad compared to other welding shops. Were talking almost half the price of labor! I had the grill made to weld to the hood so when you lift the hood the whole thing moves forward making it easier to work on the engine and put gas into it. it is secured to the frame with a bolt mounted to the steering box and a wingnut securing the hood down. I took the fenders off, had them cut off the tops and re-weld IH style fenders on the sides. i also had slight angles cut on the bases to replicate IH style mounting plates.

I kept the original muffler and added a straight pipe out from that and clamped it. The decals were done by a local custom vinyl decal business. The hitch plate on the rear of the tractor was already there when i got it, but it had a ball hitch welded on the flat plate. I ground that off and plan on making a pin box and mounting that on the plate to keep pins, wrenches, chains and other things i may need. I also plan on putting duel wheels on the rear as soon as i find a cheap way to make wheel brackets. I really dont want to pay over $100.00 for them. I also want to put a rear hitch light on the back. All in all im pretty pleased with how it turned out. I am anxious to see how its going to do in the tall grass this spring/summer. Oh and the wagon attached is one i built. I do make them for people who are wanting to haul serious loads around the house. They are great for mulching, stone. The wagons can hold up to 1,800lbs and the dual rear wagons will hold up to 2,300lbs. The wagons are made entirely of pressure treated wood. So they last a long time! Thanks everyone for looking and questions or comments are very much welcomed.

Methos,

Yes i do build those wagons on an as needed/order basis. They are a steel frame just like a bale wagon. Then i bolt mounted 4x6 treated posts for the sub frame then 4x4's are bolted to the 4x6's on 2' centers for the floor to mount to. The floor is made of treated 2x6 while the sides are treated 2x12 w/ treated 1x for tops and framing around the outside. the rear lifts off for easy clean out by simply undoing 2 turnbuckles and lifting. I still want to put the word "international" on the sides just like how IH used to do on their manure spreaders and barge wagons the wagon dimensions are almost 4' x 8'.

thanks for looking.

Scott

I can't tell from the pics, how did you do the strip down the center of the hood? Thanks.

Maybe some close up pics of the hood and grill area? Please!

sareed, this is a truly cool tractor! I love it. I've been thinking about how to do something similar (a red IH tractor look-alike) but have not gotten to the point of starting it. I'm thinking starting with a 1X8 (108 or 128) and repowering with a 14 or, preferably, a 16hp (k341). Red paint job, and I'd like to add a creeper, and larger ag tractor tires. People like you keep the rest of us dreaming. Thanks for the inspiration!
More pics of the hood arrangement would be interesting. Thanks for posting!

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.
