Lucas...2 hp ! ? I had a model airplane engine with more hp. than that !
It is pre 1950s. They only turned around 400 RPM but had lots of torque. They are commonly refered to as hit and miss engines.
ALLEN - The little 1/5th cubic inch R/C 4WD Buggies engines SON used to race were small enough to fit in a Ziplock sandwich bag and be sealed, they made 2.5 HP @ 38,000 RPM. I think that engine would be more fun in a Cub Cadet than an old hit/miss engine!

Dennis, now that would be cool ! But can you imagine a Cub going as fast as an RC racer?
Hi all, I thought there may be a few people interested in my latest projects.
The 2 smaller machines are Cub Cadet conversions.
The AWD model is a Japanese 4x4 with a diesel in it. The 4x4 is a real fun tractor to take to shows. I have a set of duals coming on Wednesday for this one. I'll post some picts when it's done.
I like the last picture, it kind of looks like what the assembly line to look like 45 years ago... only a little smaller
Take a look at the website for more pictures...

Kurt, stunning job! I had to dig out my thesaurus to look up more superlatives to describe your work. Here's a few: astonishing, awe-inspiring, magnificent and astounding.
Paul, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement.

I would love to have one of Kurt's creations. Great job!!!
Thanks again everyone.
On the duals, I put about 20 pounds of pressure in the inside tires, and only 5 pounds of pressure in the outside tires. I did warn my customer with the Cub Cadet about that possibility, and if something does happen, it would be his responsibility, because the Cub Cadet was never made to handles such a stress. On my FWA tractor though, the rear axles are about 1.75" in diameter, and I don't think there will be any issues.
I'll take more picts when I finish the rear-end. I still need to paint the 3-point arms, plumb the hydrolics, and make a PTO shield.
