4 wheel drive

At one time when I was looking through this site I once came across a guy that put a golf cart transmission in the frount of his tractor and I was woundering if they can by any chance send me some pictures. I have the tranny and I dont see how to hook it up so that it drives or steers. Also I was woundering if it mattered what kind of tractor you used.

Are you sure you aren't getting confused with the Cub Cadet Model 100 that Dan Hoefler modified to be a 4WD? He used a DANA rear end from a golf cart reworked for use as a front axle. I have dozens of photos of it, including some "in progress" shots. Let me know if you want me to e-mail you any of them. Kraig

I should also point out that many photos of Dan's 4WD 100 have been posted at: http://www.ihcubcadet.com/discus/

As I recall the tractor that I am thinking of did not have the tracks. All it was was a regular tractor that he had rigged up and then put golf cart tranny on it to make it a 4wd. All I really need is to see pictures on how to hook it up to my tractor so that it works.

Yes, Dan made a crawler but he also made a 4 wheel drive Cub Cadet, I'll send you some photos of it.

There are quite a few home made 4 wheel drive tractors out there.There is another cub near Keil Wisconsin He used a front axel off a small jeep and cut it down .It would be a little harder on a Simplicity since the transmission is not set up the same as a cub.

I have some photos of Mike Schultz's 4x4 Cub Cadet too. Here is how Mike described it when photos of it were posted on the Cub Cadet Forum: "the front end is out of a CJ type jeep . I power the front wheels by another pinion off the ring gear. it has automotive steering box and Johnson loader .the pump for the loader runs off the front PTO so I can turn it on and off. Works great ! turns out the tractor was a model 71 and not a 70 opps . hope somebody can post these pictures on the cub forum as I don't know how . Mike Schultz Kiel , Wisc."

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
