Cub Cadet

Good weather for painting so the frame and the sides got a coat of paint after being primed yesterday.

Will you be able to see what's in the top drawers?

That's why the discs are black and white

The box finally tips and lifts twice as high 

 
First of all we made the lift arms that would do all of the lifting and also multiply the lift off the ground.  
 

 
Then we made the tipping mechanism, once the box is on the ground you can disengage the mechanism using a handle and then by lifting the box it can be emptied. 
 

 

 
Some tidying up of edges and welds will be done and then it is ready for paint. 
 
I am going to paint the mechanism yellow but I am unsure whether to paint the whole box IH white like the bonnet, or all black, or the frame black and the sides white. Any ideas will be appreciated!

Pink with blue spots 

Enough yellow with the tractor. To much if transport box the same.

Frame black sides white Ewan
 
 
I thought you would want it yellow Norm, you reckon me discs are the wrong colour !!

Well done Ewan. Black frame and white sides get my vote.

All the Cub attachments seem to be white Norm, think i would have painted them yellow by mistake 

Awesome pics Ewan , I like the winger with front loader . Always wanted one of those .

We went to the great Yorkshire show today and since you all like photos here are some that I took.

Great photo's Ewan.
 
Koen. I think Ewan was trying to get a photo of the girl in the driving seat.  He'd tried at the Dragoon Guards stand as well, but she covered her face.

Great photos Ewan !!
 
Fame at last !!

what's there to see in this photo?

On Friday we made the lift mechanism that attaches the box to the tractor. Here are some pics
 

 

 

 
I put the floor in for a photo and a test drive, after taking it into our field and onto the rough ground I discovered that it didn't lift quite high enough for the terrain I would be driving over so some modifications had to be made. 
 

 
I made the bottom lift arms longer and by welding onto the sides of the old ones it made the box align with the bracket on the tractor. 
 

 
At least I know my drilling is straight, the holes are for the height adjustment. 
 

 
This is as far as I have got, the string imitates the link arms and we are also trying to work out a way for the box to tip.
