Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. 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. Direct drive presents the challenge of starting the engine with two hydros hooked up.Ĭub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. Since I'm now quite familiar with double drive belt arrangements, it might be the way I go. Either way, I still need to turn the engine around if I want the front face to be a rear axle cover. Motor over the drives may well look better, so that's still an option and may actually be required to tuck the axles under the hood so to speak. Otherwise I'd have to build an enclosure and skid plate out front to cover it up and protect it. I want the front of the dozer to present the rear cover plate of an axle rather than a more fragile hydro (and oil filter) sticking out there. Yeah, the single axle won't give me the weight and hydro controls that I think will function better. I don't think a single axle and "brake" steering would work without a brake up grade and even then probably wouldn't last long if actually working it.
But for a more Cat like look, I'd mount the motor high and forward. If you welded the rear of one frame to the front of the other frame, with the motor in between, everything would line up and turn the correct way. I'm confused why you're turning the engine around. What matters is the effective radius of the surface in contact with the ground if that makes sense. Ground speed is a function of the rotational speed of the axle (RPMs) and the radius of the wheel or track circle.Ĭut the radius in half (use a 10 inch sprocket with a 12 inch track diameter, which is about half of the 23 inch diameter tractor tires, should reduce max ground speed from 8 mph to 4 mph. My point was I was around some pretty neat machines back then but unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the track system of the crawlers. The floor would shake when it pressed the broach tool. We had a horizontal broach that was 12 ft long that we broached the inside splines on the spindles. We actually built our own drive cases and had gear hobs to make our own gears. Do you figure the diameter of the drive sprocket or the outside diameter of the track at the sprocket? Back in the early 70’s when GM owned Terex I worked at the Hudson plant in Ohio as a welder.
