posi rear from a 3000 look inside

[rweaver]

I had to do a internal check I had the camera out anyway thought there might be people who never saw inside one

With all those straight cut gears, do they howl like a wolf??

My 1861 is so loud, I can hear the gears a 1/4 mile away when my SIL goes up a steep grade.

I wonder if the 1861 looks like that?

Great pics!!

Thanks for posting this one, think I'll pass on those.

all the alum rear tractors including your 1861 has straight cut ring gears sorry to tell you

Coming from the automotive and drag racing world, that looks insanely overbuilt for something that mows grass!

VERY cool pics!

...you've got me thinking about a retro-fit into my wide frames now....

that is not a cheap rear a lot of guys throw the posi in when the tires are spinning and eat 500 big ones just like that

My Dad paid $17,500 for his Deere 2210 in 2005 (58"(?) deck, loader, and grader box in the deal)... $500 isn't anything to remind him of what a good old Cub can do!!!

That said.. That Deere is a fantastic machine so far. He works it like a a D9 dozer and it never complains...

Thanks for showing us, Ray.

For mowing grass, I will take a 3000 series over any Cub ever built. They mow better, have a good turning radius with power steering, stripe the lawn, have a foot controlled hydro and have a beverage holder. Another big plus is they don't have a pos mule drive belt that wears out, a heavy duty drive line and you can add up to 6 remotes. I will say that I don't use my diff lock because I have heard about them breaking if not used correctly. That is a great pic Ray, thanks for posting.

I ve got a 3235 in the garage right now that blew the hydro filter right off the front of the trans when the diff lock grenade and one of the pins wedged between the drive gear and the cast iron case! Still trying to decide if I should fix it or part it out. New case half is $500 from cadet and I haven't found a parts tractor for under $1000!
