Default Retrofit Hydro?
In my searches for a cub, I'm finding basket cases and parts units etc. Since I will want to take it apart and repaint etc anyway, it gave me some ideas for putting together a classic look tractor but with some updates (couple more horsepower, hydro drive)...


Can a 70 or 100 be retro-fitted with a hydro rear, and does the hydro have more pulling torque than a creeper-equipped manual?

Thanks

A hydro ALWAYS has less pulling torque,, because 15-20% of the engine power is lost in the hydraulic system.

Winning tractor pullers always use gear drive tractors.

A hydro is convenient,, no clutching to change speed, no clutching to reverse,,

I have a JD tractor that is hydro, but it has a 41 HP diesel,, so the lost power is not noticed.

ok so less power. I did read that it's easier on the r/e gears.

anyway can a 66/67 hydro rear bolt right into an earlier 100/70/classic?

just learning the options here...

Yes and no. Bolt hole wise it's a direct bolt in swap. But the 70/100 has a shorter tunnel on the frame that will not clear the pump/linkage. So you will have to modify the frame in order for it to fit

K thx. not that I'm big on this just wondering, why not move the pump (or use any comparable pump) onto the engine and run hyd lines to the diff? Then would also have hyd pressure to run accessories...

Just get a 123 and have it all.

Save yourself a bunch of hassle and not screw up one or more machines in the process.

The road to the junk yard is paved with not-so-bright ideas, unfinished projects and cobble craft extrodinaire.

Thanks for the kind words. BUT, I like the old school look. Lotta CC's around that are already junk and destined for scrap, that i could give a second life to.

Old school look, spring seat, nose, cowl, etc
narrow farm tires
At least 10HP
Hydraulics (considering building a loader attachment)
Keep it simple

Maybe you can try looking for a 71 or 72?
They have the same look as a 100.

Thanks, Yup but getting a 100 saves me finding a bigger motor, 7hp aint gonna be enough for me... specially if I add hydraulics. However a cheap (or free) 7 series would be an option for sure... I just missed a 100 around here today that went for nearly free.

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.
