Cub Cadet

Happy Birthday Norm!

Very cool!

Very nice collection there!

Very nice, I would love one of these!

This is just so awesome!

Awesome!

Nice find Philip! I would love one of these, looking forward to see more on this

That's lucky finding a K161, I haven't seen one for sale before, tri rib tyres look good in my opinion, I had ag tyres and tri ribs on my Wheel Horse and I thought it looked good

Thanks Tom

Thanks Neil Thanks Alain, I'm going to try and keep it original and use the lift that came with it, Thanks for the link

Sorry about the bad angles, the plough is buried but it does fit the CC hitch, here are some pictures.

Thanks, it's the shipping that kills it, $14 shipping, I'll wait till I start restoring it properly and I might consider it, I used this epoxy,

Thank you, I'm very happy with it

Thanks Paul

Been busy fixing my steering wheel today, here are some pictures. I used some black epoxy putty which worked really well. After a polish you can barely tell it's there All painted and fitted back on ready for next week. I have added a temporary replacement grill to the front since the old one had completely rusted away and I painted a new number plate as the old one had been painted over. Ready to be loaded up tomorrow for Newby hall tractor fest

Awesome, I never thought to look, might be a plan for when I restore it fully. What he said ^^ thanks Norman

Just an update on what I have been up to this week.... Added a new starter switch so that it will start properly for Newby hall. I replaced the bonnet catches with some small bearings. Cleaned and zinc plated all of the wheel nuts which were incredibly rusty :/ I started on the steering wheel which was in a bad state Started to fix the split in the steering wheel by using a dremel to grind out the rust and bad plastic There will be more pictures to follow the restoration.

Chris, in theory I think it should.

Hi Tom, Kohler made the K-181 with electric start but you can also get them with recoil starters, the picture below shows a k-181 with a recoil starter.

Hi Tom, Well the person that I know that did it said that it bolted straight in, unfortunately I don't have one but I've being looking on that auction site and there was one on the other day that sold, I'd just keep looking on there if I were you or ask around, someone may have one kicking around Ewan

Tom, Is it a 7hp kohler engine if it is then you probably won't find another one easily, I know someone that has a cub cadet 70 that swapped a 7hp kohler with an 8hp, could that be a solution? Ewan

Is it a Simplicity landlord?

It will be a while until I can see if it fits as I have removed my hitch on the cub but I will measure the clevis on the plough and see if it would fit the CC lift. Ewan

Cub Cadet didn't make the lift that I put pictures on of, the part that they called the 3-pt hitch is the casting that features in the brochure below, this came with my tractor. The pictures that Alain posted is what the Cub Cadet and Brinly 3-pt hitch was like. There is some cool implements isn't there. Ewan

I understand what you are saying, I suppose that's why mine and Toms has the clevis part attached to it. This is the brochure, notice they are cub cadet matched equipment, not cub cadet made This is the only part in the brochure that shows the lift in action, it's not very clear
