thats a very nice old cub and I had no idea they made all those attachments for them,,i have a old cub 106 from 1970 but it doesnt have a PTO on back but Im sure could be fixed with one,,,nice tractor.
In 1970's my dad bought a 149 for light use on the farm and mowing. He bought an International loader made for this tractor but found that what he wanted to use it for was impractical so he traded it for a snowblower. Big problem though was the front axle attachment as we bought it was too light for this use and had to be repaired several times over the life of the tractor on the farm. After leaving the farm however the tractor stood up well and my brother still uses it till this day.
@bobbyj423007 we are still using 2 inch bore hydraulic cylinders. the loader lift cylinders have a 12 inch stroke and the bucket cylinders have an 8 inch stroke.
@shooterm24sniper we built it to look like an old white oliver backhoe. from scratch. thanks the bucket all the way down to the ground has probably a breakout force of close to 2000 pounds. (yes three zeros after the 2). lift capacity to full height is about 1200 pounds. look at my new videos of the loader. you'll get a better understanding of the weight handling.
@hammerdwn20, thanks. the white oliver is my grandfathers. right now we have it torn down to just a tractor because we had to rebiuld the transmission. but when we get it back together. i wiil post some vids of it working and a walk around of the white oliver and my little backhoe, youll see its kind of a mini me of the white.
@ringbolt9 no no power steering. the front has nearly no weight. if the front bucket was flat and waist high. you can grab underneath the bucket with one hand and pick the front wheels off the ground. youll see maybe 200 lbs of counter weight mounted in front of the grill and the loader itslelf weighs in at about 300lbs. thats how heavy the backhoe is. power steering is in the future though. right now its in the garage.
@Searsnut11 pause the video at 6:18. you will see theres an "A" frame that bolts right to the side of the frame of the tractor. you'll also see the side post where the loader arm and the hydraulic lift cylinder attaches. the side post is straight up and down until it gets to the bottom of the lift cylinder. then it angles in to the "A" frame. ive been having trouble with severe cracks right where it starts to angle to the A frame. thats 2x3 3/16" inch tubing. im gonna change the design.
I found where u told about the cylinders, what about the pump, im lookin for one and would prefer to have the same type of performance from it as you have here
Nice setup with the loader and backhoe, now the governor needs adjusting, because it is a 14 hp; it shouldn't bog down any, and the valve gap should be checked also, if not a complete valve job because i heard it fluttering to catch its breath a couple or so times; anyway that is a nice job done on it and with it too. Nice 4 ⛤ job
@ad356 idk anything about the later mtd made product. we have a 100 and 2 149s. obviously one of our 149s is a backhoe. every thing is stock. i hate to say it but we beat the piss out of this thing(backhoe). we'll drive fast over rough terrain with all that weight bouncing around like hell. that rear end is alot tougher than it looks
how high does your lift go? im in the process but im at a snag my lift capsity maxes out at 5 feet is that enough if im only going to be doing stuff like what you show in your video?
looks like another one sitting in your garage only maybe older than this one,,i had a chance to buy 4 of them the other day at a junk yard for junk rates and didnt have the spare money and one of them was mint perfect condition paint and all but was missing the carburator,,I bet all it needed was a new carb and I regret not buying them but didnt have the spare money brother,,it looked like a cub cadet dealer at the junk yard that day,,,later
Is the Cub running ok? something sounds like it's knocky? might just be the video. AWESOME set up. I am about to own a Gravely 812, I NEED the loader and backhoe, Kwik Way are still going and making these units.
@jonboy4662 go to google and search for micro hoe (pf engineering). they sell plans(blueprints) for a loader and backhoe that work specificaly for cub cadet. we built this loader and backhoe from scrach. i dont know if you can build one on your own. if not, try ebay and craigslist. i think the loader ive seen that goes with cub cadet is from Danco. danco loaders. hope this helps.
@TheFiretender i have a rough drawing, but i had to ajust alot while the build progessed. there not engineer drawings. sorry, i wish i had a better set.
Guy hasn't responded to questions for seven years he ain't gonna start now! But there does seem to be quite a lot of information online re: garden tractors with backhoes and loaders.
You could at one point order a loader for these tractors. But I believe this was built from the P.F Loader plans. The backhoe is definitely from that P.F plan set.
hey guys i went to mytractorforum. thanks jaydalebob and hammerdwn20. i get a vid of the backhoe digging in grass to show its true colors. the loader is too light to dig into the grass. at least mine anyway. to be honest the front would take a while to dig into the grass. theres not too much pushing power....yet. i have a project coming up.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PICTURES OF THE BACKHOE ATTACHED TO TRACTOR AND KNOW THE BRAND AND MODEL ALSO I DONT HAVE A POSY REAR END.. HYDRO STATIC SUCKS 2082 WITH WITH 610 LOADER
I love cubs and this is neat....but it's really too light of a machine and the cycle times are way to slow to be productive. You'd feel exhausted running this for 8 hours.
True. Even though I like to find some fault in something...I wish I had the thing. Here I am pointing out my perceived flaws...and there he is moving dirt pretty darn good.
+NeilLB7 It would sure beat the hell out of a wheel barrow and shovel in a place where a larger tractor won't fit, like the back of a residential lot. I've spent a lot of hours on a Cub Cadet 124. :)
That's the most quickest responding hydraulic system I've ever seen on a garden tractor....awesome man.
Mines the same on my 149 danco
That's the coolest 149 I have ever seen. Fantastic job on the build.
Awesome work! I wouldn't have guessed that the 149 would have enough hydraulic power to do all that. It reminds me of a Terramite.
That may be the coolest Cub Cadet I've ever seen man. What a brute these machines are. Very nice fab work.
Now that's what I call a video ! Guy is actually doing some work. Nice !
Awesome work building AND operating.
thats a very nice old cub and I had no idea they made all those attachments for them,,i have a old cub 106 from 1970 but it doesnt have a PTO on back but Im sure could be fixed with one,,,nice tractor.
back before we stooped making things
What a powerfull little tractor, very cool.
Man you inspired me to get a machine like this.

great work buddy , thats kick ass :)
My Cub never shuts down that nice when worked that hard. It likes to Diesel quite a bit.

this is one sweet michine I have to say very awesome I want one
Thanks, The loader was based off a 1968 white oliver backhoe the 4-78-17. I will make a video to show how me and my brother made a pedal.
i have a cub cadet 1450 with a johnson loader on it.its awesome
@CSAKvids yes we built the loader and backhoe from scratch. thanks
@hammerdwn20, thanks. the white oliver is my grandfathers. right now we have it torn down to just a tractor because we had to rebiuld the transmission. but when we get it back together. i wiil post some vids of it working and a walk around of the white oliver and my little backhoe, youll see its kind of a mini me of the white.
I love that tractor
@jonboy4662 nice good to hear u found one. a vid will be
cool

im impressed you have a lot of experience,i have kubotas that have less lifting power than this machine,really cool

That's pretty handy
Ive got a 149 with a Danco loader on it...any cub fans here know if the loader frame gets in the way of the extreme motorworks 3 point hitch system?
Does the hydro,pump work Ether way ,like witch way the motor turns,because I want to change motors ,too a brigsastratn 10horssr

hear a knock or loose part. Check out. Nice rig
so how did you hook up a pedel for the trans, insted of the lever? that would be cool to see,

What make of loader is that. I've never seen one mount to a cub like that one ?
Impossible to find garden tractors like this in arkansas to even start buildin attachments for
Is the Cub running ok? something sounds like it's knocky? might just be the video. AWESOME set up. I am about to own a Gravely 812, I NEED the loader and backhoe, Kwik Way are still going and making these units.
@itsrandy what do u mean?
I just got a Cub 1250 for free. Can you help with questions about the restoration?
How did you mount the loader?
power steering?
@jonboy4662
go to google and search for micro hoe (pf engineering). they sell plans(blueprints) for a loader and backhoe that work specificaly for cub cadet. we built this loader and backhoe from scrach. i dont know if you can build one on your own. if not, try ebay and craigslist. i think the loader ive seen that goes with cub cadet is from Danco. danco loaders. hope this helps.
CURIOUS?? WHAT SIZE ENGINE ARE YOU USING ON THIS TRACTOR?
Nice, send me this tractor to Poland xD
Nice here is mine and got more builds on the way ua-cam.com/video/aeSnteenTUU/v-deo.html
Holy Hydraulics Batman!
@69rd96 A new addition to the fleet for you guys ? LOL.
Is it for Sale
my dad is currently doing the same thing to are 149
@TheFiretender i have a rough drawing, but i had to ajust alot while the build progessed. there not engineer drawings. sorry, i wish i had a better set.
i have a 149 with a factory johnson loader
Would you sell it ?
Guy hasn't responded to questions for seven years he ain't gonna start now! But there does seem to be quite a lot of information online re: garden tractors with backhoes and loaders.
he might be the type thats not computer savvy or he just does not care
I'm in Michigan, let me know if you ever want to sell it.
Sweet machine. The loader looks great on it!
Was that a kit or designed from scratch?
You could at one point order a loader for these tractors. But I believe this was built from the P.F Loader plans. The backhoe is definitely from that P.F plan set.
@@Ratkill9000 Those are based off a white 4-78 backhoe, way too beefy and strong to be the pf engineering ones

sounds like she could use more power
is that hydraulic steering i see great job on the loader and hoe any more videos good fab skills
i want to do this i
