Default Cub Cadet 122 Diesel Swap
I have been doing alot of research on swapping engines on a cub with the shaft drive. I found a thread on another site which shows how another tractor build similar to a IH cub 122 was converted using this engine. http://concreteliftingusa.com/DEK.HTML

He had to come off the fly wheel and remove the back up coil pulley wheel in order to turn the shaft the proper direction. Just wondering if anyone on here has every tried this or with a motor similar to this? Of any comments on potential problems i will have are appreciated. I love diesel engines and prefer them over gas and I am going to get one of these engines and attempt to make my 122 a diesel powered tractor. I have the measurments fro the diesel tractor so now I am going have to see how close I will come on lining up the shaft with the flywheel off the engine. If anyone wants the link to the thread of the way the guy did it on his tractor PM me and i will send it to you. made for a very interesting read and pics are very good.

not trying to discourage you because im doing something similar, you know that will be kind of slow. the cub finals are a 6.8 or so reduction.

Hope you don't plan on driving it much at all... Assuming you keep the CC tires, your maximum speed will be just over 1 mph...

No I plan on using the farmall cub Ag tires and wheels/wheel weights, that should set it much higher than using the CC wheels/tires and give me a little more ground speed. The plan is to make it the same size (height/length) as a standard farmall cub, but with a cub cadet sheet metal and engine!

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.
