    Brennan, looks good, oh to have a press brake and a shear, it would sure make things easier, if you bend that deck you were going way to fast!!!!

    Kraig, so far the plan is to have it set up for snow plowing and grading, I'll have the stock snowblade and an under body grader blade hooked up and probably the mowerdeck, but the options are open for a small loader mounted of the (front) drive unit that that way I could stop breaking shovel...

    Jared, the steering box is out of a M39 49 Mercury 1/2 ton pickup (which I should have never sold)

    Well it's progressing; if a person didn't have to eat or sleep you sure could get a lot done. The steering seems to work real good sitting on the table with my weight on the tractor I can palm the steering wheel easily from stop to stop Dan W, I don't have a part no, as I threw the boxes away...

    A bit more progress, the trunions are now connected, I didn't want to resize the cable so it curves around the front of the engine and is attached to the bottom of the front unit and the top of the rear and they both move in the same direction (but I won't get into that!!!) I used a spring on...

    I mulled that over when I was setting it up, the unit is spaced evenly on each side of the pivot point so each universal gets about half of the turn angle, there should be enough room to change it out if the test run fails

    Brennan, yes, the drive shaft is at engine speed, the IH hydrostatic drive is one of the best bits of engineering IH ever produced, it eventually found it's way into their line of bigger farm eq. That drive shaft has made 4 military moves across Canada and each time they packed it up my wife...

    Hydro drive completed except for the keys in the universals. It seems fairly easy to pivot so I'm going to go with a linkage system for the steering, I going to have to sit down with some beer(s) and descide how I'm going to mount a snowplow on the front, it's starting to look a bit long, hmm.

    The start of my 4wd project that has been waiting for about 6 years the motor is a 14 hp that is in a 10 hp cowling in order to fit in the narrow frame. I hope that it has enough grunt to turn 2 hydros I had 3 narrow frame units to pull parts from More to follow

    It should be a whole lot of fun when its done, when I had the big motor in mine it would sort of suck the grass up straight, then cut it, and you could hear the mower blades tips start to cavitate when you wound it out (-:'

    All my ramblings are made from the prospective of standing in front of the tractor looking aft, on a stock Cub Cadet looking from the front, the implement drive pully (Motor) turns CCW and the flywheel side is turning CCW which drives the Hydro CCW ( the flywheel side of the Kohler is turning...

    Aaron I hope I'm not out of line and I may have missed details of your build but, viewed from the front the V6 rotates CW but the Hydro unit requires a CCW input. I neglected this when I stuffed a 2cyl Flathead Contenental into a 147, fired it up and no drive, so I tore the motor out and...
