Craig, please email those photos to me, I'll post them.

Digger just fixed the pics for me so here we go...

And finally, his Avery Gator...diesel no less.

 

[cellis]

Oops, one too many of the valving and not enough of the ball joints so here goes...

 

[cellis]

Geez, I must need some coffee or something. ONE MORE TRY!!!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Craig, are those Warren Newton's Cubs by chance? I have some that Warren sent me a year or 2 ago, one of the 4x4 articulated when it was still under construction and several of his "Avery Gator". Thanks for the photos!

 

[cellis]

Yes, those are Warren's - I didn't want to mention names without him knowing about it. I didn't want to take any detailed photos without his approval either so I just snapped a couple quick pics. He's definately a Cubaholic, though! He's got a nicely restored Farmall Cub in his yard as well but I figured everyone had seen a photo of one of them!

Craig, click on the "Cub Cadets Not OEM but better'n' new ! ! !" forum, and you'll see the photos that Warren sent me of his Avery Gator.

Kraig - boy, there are some very slick machines on that forum. The articulated job sans front wheels is a stunner. I am jealous - these guys have too much time on their hands and I'm working 60 hour weeks. Sheesh.

I've gotta get me one of those 4X4's, and then I culd really pull down some trees... Hmmmmm

 

[mgonitzke]

Anybody know what those special mule drive pullies for use with a tiller cost from the dealer? I can't get the MTD parts lookup site to work from here...

Also, has anyone noticed that a new tiller belt on a 1x8/9 seems too short the first time it's installed? I assume it'll stretch, but it seems WAY too tight right now...or is it supposed to be that way?

 

[digger]

Ok, my turn for a question.
Anyone think that this is what I think it is?

 

[lbaker]

Some type hitch??

 

[digger]

I've gone through everything I have and came up empty. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Charlie.

Look similar (sp) to the hydro pump bracket for a hydro tiller for a 3000 series cub cadet

I also know someone who happens to be looking for one of those.

 

[kduffy]

Charlie, Looks like a bunch of misc. parts for a 42" 190-004-100 Tiller. Misc. Hydraulic Parts and the one that you couldn't find is front deck bracket for a MTD Cub LT of the 1320, 1420, 1720, Etc. Series.

Cool,
Thanks guys.

I guess if I would have done like you two did and searched those fancy online databases, I wouldn't have had to ask would I!

I'm thinking of using that stuff for my pump mount for the loader project waiting in the wings/shed now.

It's looking like I will need a new battery for my 1650. Are there any advantages for using a automotive type battery versus a original style battery?
Can the charging system even fully charge up a automotive battery being it has so many more amps?

 

[digger]

Jeff P.
The only automotive batteries I know of that would fit your Cub without raising the seat would be the mazda Miata battery or a smae aircraft battery.
And yes the charging system will handle it's charginig duties with no problem.

 

[digger]

Notice the angle of the seat mount.

And with it angled like that, it makes me set up straight and makes the old back feel better.
