It’s done, no problem. I didn’t grind it down to the angle of the bit. I bought a key that was 1/4” to 3/16” and cut the 3/16” off I also used super glue. I slowed my drill press down to as slow as it could go. I took Oldnslo’s advice and bolted it down to my drill press table so it wouldn’t...

Wow! I really like that setup. No cable. I’ll have to rethink my setup. My winch is a different set up. It’s a Badland 2500. It has a knob connected to a small shaft that you pull out to free wheel the cable out. I use my winch for other things so I don’t want to make one dimensional. I’ll have...

I thought of something like that. I have a larger pipe I can weld to the rim. The pipe will fit over the existing pipe and I could bolt it together like you had mentioned. Then I wouldn’t use the hub at all. I wanted to use the existing pipe because it already has the right size bearings to...

I would like to use what I have lying around. Besides, the manure spreader wouldn’t be roadworthy to pick up wood chips, black dirt or gravel for my driveway. I’m retired and it gives me something to do in the winter.

I’m thinking it could be a little bigger because I’ll be using the key and it has a set screw. I’m using the hub and rim from a broken down golf cart I have. I need the rim to wind the winch cable on so the winch can turn the rim that’s attached to the pipe and unload the trailer. It’s not like...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this? I have an 8’x5’ utility trailer I would like to use for unloading mulch, wood chips and dirt. The tarp I have is from an old cargo unloader that I use to use for unloading wood from my truck. I see you can buy them from harbor freight so you have...

I have a 2022 X370 and I was hoping to convert the forward/reverse foot pedal control to a hand control. I’ve read some articles but my linkage seems to be a little different. I haven’t made anything up yet but the few times I’ve had an idea for mounting a rod or lever on my pedal, the break...

Poor man’s grapple.

My Cub is all fixed. Taking it apart wasn’t that bad except for the two bolts on top of the housing. They wouldn’t come lose, I sprayed liquid wrench on them a couple of times through the day and let it soak over night. The next day I still couldn’t get them lose. I only have a 3/8 ratchet for...

I already started to take it apart. I figured I could get the whole housing if needed, so why not take it apart. Looking at the service manual, I see there might be a couple of O rings I’ll need to get. I’ll see what happens.

I did try cub cadet (MTD) sight. I don’t think I mentioned it but they didn’t have it. He suggested taking it apart and see if there were any numbers on it and look online at a seal or bearing place. Thanks anyway.

Not a bad idea. I got pretty lucky. The place I found is less than 2 hour’s from my house. I’ll go pick it up.

I have found a used cub cadet that is sitting at a parts junk yard. I have a 7195 that was made in 97 and this one is a 7200. I looked up the parts numbers and their the same. I’ll need to buy the whole housing and reduction gears right where it bolts up to the front axle. Right now I don’t see...

I tried, made my order, gave them my credit card number. An hour later they emailed me back with a refund. Said the parts are obsolete. I tried them all and I got the same answer. I talked with an implement parts man and he suggested the same thing. He said it hardly works but It might slow...
