Looks awesome! Great job. I'm surprised at how well it turns. I wasn't expecting it to be as cooperative as that. Very very nice.

I am digging the fenders as is.
Put the bed hinge point out behind the rear axle housing.
Too bad the axle housing is not round they would make a great spot for The pivot point.

The "valley" between the fenders is begging for a
"V" shaped crossmember full width of bed. Maybe a hyd. Cyl. Or two could be pushing the bed up via the V crossmember?

Bed on this one came from an old lawn cart. If you need any more pics of the build let me know.

Correct! You want some weight on either side of the pivot to reduce the force needed to dump it.

Sam, that's a pretty neat set up. Would love to see some pics of the underside of the bed, attachment points for the cylinder, pivot point, etc.

Just a bit more progress after a visit with our son and daughter and her family for Christmas. Had a marvelous time with our grand daughter. Wow, you guys and gals that don't yet have grandchildren, are you ever in for a surprise! Talk about stealing your heart! We are so blessed...

OK, with a successful test drive under my belt, it's time to begin some clean up of the cub and final assembly. I'll put much of the tractor back together, cleaning and painting as I go. I'll stop at some point and build the dump bed and supporting structure.

A bit of work tonight..welding up a bunch of holes in the rear fender. clean up and primer. There were over a dozen extra holes in the fender. No idea why. Gone now. This fender is a little beat up. I'm not going to do a lot of body work on it to return it to original condition, my purpose here is to prevent further rusting, so basically remove rust, prime and repaint.

new auto valves on the rear hydro.

Muffler on the engine.

Painted rear fender and primed hood.

Beginning to build up out of the battery box with angle, supported by the frame.

Continued tacking the dump bed support frame together. I need more angle iron to complete this frame. Will have several frame members going forward and back as well as some diagonal supports for the forward "T" frame.

Put the grill casting in place and found a grill insert that I had on hand. The tractor came without one.

Some of the tool arsenal, including one of my favorites, the Milwaukee band saw.

Found a place for my CC banner...

Have more painting to do, but can't smell up the shop because it's so cold (15 degrees--cold by coastal Virginia standards) that the dogs won't come in the shop with paint fumes and they can't stay outside in this weather. May be a week before I can get back to painting.

Looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the end results.

Starting to snow here. We are right in the path of this "bomb" (bombogenesis) east coast storm. ("Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. A millibar measures atmospheric pressure. This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters.")

Supposed to get 4-6 inches. About 60 miles north of Norfolk, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. You guys up north are scoffing at this meager dusting. Well, it's a show stopper here. (Not for me because I've got the equipment and vehicles to get out of here, but we have about 1/2 mile of private lane to get out to the state maintained road, and another mile out to the main road.)

Got a bit of time to weld up the tacked together subframe and got some more angle iron to continue the build. As of right now, the battery box frame and the "T" frame forward of it are welded up and I can start connecting them. Trying to make sure I can take this apart if needed for service, etc, so I need to incorporate some bolted connections. Thinking through this so I'll be able to mount a lift cylinder (thinking electrical right now) and still service the battery, and have a frame rigid enough to handle some payload.

Also some more painting. This tractor has been painted before, so I had a lot of paint removal to get rid of underlying rust. Working back with primer and a couple coats of finish enamel.

I guess I'll stay tuned... because I don't see how you are going to get a dump cylinder in there. I really don't see how you are going to make it dump.

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.
