Default Differential Lock?
What are some ways of doing this and has anyone had good or bad experiences with this? Thinking about pulling w/ my 102 but feel like I want to lock it.

Midwest super cub sells a spool for them iorc. Only other option is to weld the spider gears which I don't recommend..

Balance the weight correctly and learn to manor your body.

Well the thing is I use mine back in the swampy areas in the woods as well and I was thinking that if it wasnt too hard to do, I would just lock it and then be able to pull and get through the mud. At this point I guess I'll just have to get something better than super lugs.
Edit *yes leaning way is good especially when there is no kill switch on the seat*

Get some good ag tires. If you lock it its also going to hurt your ability to turn...

Yup and I know some places where I can pick up an old crapsman or something to experiment with first before I do much internally.

I personaly wouldn't lock the rear at all if you plan to use it as a worker. If your back in the timber and swamp areas I highly doubt you will have a deck or mule drive attatched. Get a cheap harbor freight winch and build a quick attatch bracket...

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.
