Fred,
I've never done something like you're suggesting but if you want to do it, go for it!
It would sure be more interesting than a golf cart. These are only old machines to be used as we each see fit. Did I really say that??? I should receive many lashes upon my back and caning upon thy feet...

I'm sure we all look at old things differently. Some folks actually look at rust and get excited about making it look great again, others would just as well toss it and buy new.
To each his own. At least until Obama signs another Executive Order outlawing old Cubs!

To the OP's original question, I don't think it would be all that difficult to move the steering but I think it would be easier to move it to the right side. Pics are how the steering is setup on a JD317. They use linkage from the steering box to a bell crank. The box connects to the linkage at the areas circled in red. You could probably also build an offset mount and use a couple sprockets and chain to go from the off set to the original steering.

I saw one built into a golf cart once but they used a gear drive and the operator sat on the left side to control the clutch and steered with his right arm, the dash wasn't modified in any way.

I did a 317 Deere into something like your talking about. I don't find it all that hard to deal with the steering in the center even when sitting on one side or the other. Sort of like the mail delivery people here driving from the right side.

Just do something like this:

Then you don't even have to be on the tractor to drive it, let alone move the steering

just pull the steering wheel, and convert it to belt or chain drive over to another bearing with the wheel on it on the side. no need to move everything underneath.

That's what all the rural mail carriers around here do.. they take left hand drive vehicles and mount another wheel on bearings on the right side with a belt or chain between them. works great... you don't have to move anything else underneath.

I think it's a cool idea! go for it and keep us posted!

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.
