| Not quiet sure how to start this off so bear with me.This is my 97ish cub cadet i picked up one day on CL for 90$, The guy said it dint run but i jumped the solenoid and it fired right up when i got home. Its got a shaft driven hydro gear behind a 13hp kohler. ![97ish cub cadet <a href=](<a href=) ![97ish cub cadet 20160410](https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/19/58/18/18/20160410.jpg) " /> A few things ive done already are. Move the front axle forward about 6 inches Made some pretty neat steering arms Made a rear plate for shackles to hook to Slapped some alright tires on it Currently re-doing the dash and wiring. ![97ish cub cadet 20160911](https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/19/58/18/18/th/20160911.jpg) And much much more planned. | |

| That long arm looks like it would be a great brake handle. Good deal for $90. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| Pretty good for $90. Something like that around here would cost upwards of £300. What's the Craftsman with the ATV tyres in the backround? | |

| Hydro's burn out very quickly when sped up, so not very suitable for off-road. But if you enjoy running around at stock speed, it could work, who knows? | |

| Cub hydros are pretty quick. If its not the belt driven driveshaft it should do great. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| Looks a lot like the one @TheGreenHornet and I tore apart. The hydro is shaft driven from the flywheel correct? Some people build pullers with these things, they're the exception to the "hydros are weak" rule | |

| the craftsman in the background has a hydrostat also. not sure what year or model but its a trooper, i drowned it a few weeks ago and put new oil and gas in it and it fired back up no problem...i check water levels now before i dive in... And the transaxel is a sorta good but sorta bad deal. the long lever was for the pedal so you wouldent have to use youre foot, but people use it as a speed controll which its ment to be mashed. this wears out the clutch packs from what ive read but a washer added to the disks fixes it like a shim. its not slipping too bad in the mud and water but when i have decent tires on going up hills i have to put it in 1st. ill be shimming it when i weld the spider gears which is a must for this thing. | |

| and yes the drive shaft comes off the flywheel into a hydro pump clutch deal which goes to a geared transaxel from what i understand from reading.

| A tough hydro! Finally my life is complete. LOL, hope you have fun with it. Wish there were more shaft driven lawn tractors out there. | |

| its pretty decent its got its moments that it shines and moments when it sits like a turd. it needs more wheelspeed in the mud but does good on trails plowing over stuff. i need to replace a valve stem and i can test its lengthened wheelbase sometime today | |

| so today i found out i lied about it being a hydro... i thought sense it had the pedal and was called a hydrogear it was a hydro. Instead what i thought was the pump is actually 2 clutch packs (forward/reverse) which is why it has the pedal. ive taken the clutch housing apart to shim the clutch packs and wow its an interesting transaxel. hope i can go up hills again after this. all and all today was a good day. almost got my wheels turning again and got lucky and picked up a 18.5hp twin opposed cylinder for 10 bucks just needs a carb figured why not. if it runs i may start on a custom frame mower and slap this (i think) peerless 600 series with the 18.5hp. | |
