Default 50 Hp Articulating 128 Drawings

I have owned this Cub cadet for over a year.
I've owned a 1.6 liter VW Diesel for about 6 months.
I have had many thoughts on merging these two.
After much research and a whole lot of late nights this is what I've come up with.

This will not be a show queen.
It will not be a competitive puller.
She will be a work horse.

Front Drive Axle will be used as a hydraulic reservoir. Return line would lubricate chain drive

Nice! What's your plan for the shifters. Looks like they may be a little tricky to get to.

the plan is to use a system very similar to what is used on front wheel drive cars. A cable operated system. Haven't settled on anything specific yet. still giving some thought to shifting.

Don't know nuttin about articulated machines but don't you need the u-joint to be right in-line with the pivot?

That's how it is done on wheel loaders but they allow the rear axle to oscillate to keep all four wheels in contact with the ground. In order to do that I think this would get very complex.

No the u-joint doesn't need to be right at the pivot point,if you have ever looked at a brush-hog , mower conditioner , or any big pto operated equip their not at the center of the pivot. Looks like a interesting build! If I were doing I would make it a hydro,wouldn't have to worry about fabing up a way of shifting with cables or anything. Just my 2cents!

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.
