This is a series of videos showing my journey toward building a custom 4x4 Cub Cadet lawn tractor
Curated by: Bill Bayer (108 videos)
Well, after a very annoying start to the weekend, I managed to get quite a lot done. I got ahold of a factory Cub Cadet plow a while back. It obviously needs some modification to fit my tractor. I cut the mount bars in half and straightened them out. I'll need to extend them about 11". With the front pins seated, I figured out a way to connect the winch so I could can and lower the blade. While I was messing with the winch, I ran an auxiliary winch switch to the front of the tractor. I found a great 3-point hitch kit on ebay for cheap. I made some 3/8" plates that bolt to the bottom of the transmission axle tubes. To those, I bolted some 1/4" plates that extend to the top of and bolt to the frame. Next week I should get my linear actuator to raise and lower the lower arms. Hopefully I can find a home for the actuator under the seat. If not, I'll mount it to the back of hitch plate. Thanks for watching, Bill
