Is there a speed splitter (all three gears slower AND all three gears faster) for the Farmall Cub? It is awful slow on the road and it is sometimes too fast when trying to mow with the belly mower close to objects. My Cub Cadet has a low/high range speed splitter giving me six speeds and I'd like the same for my Cub. Thanks

In all likelihood, you are stuck with what you've got. The reducers are very rare to find with all parts intact, and expensive to buy. Plus, they put severe strain on the spider gears in your Cub's differential, and they have a very deep gear reduction. I doubt you could stand to mow with the reduction engaged; even in 3rd you'll need to set a stake to see the tractor move.

Quite frankly, I couldn't imagine a Cub going any faster, either. That tipsy little tractor doing 15MPH running side-by-side down the road with an M... Yikes. First pothole you hit, first time you swerve, you're going hiney-over-teakettle with the tractor in hot pursuit. Ouch. There's a reason these tractors only went 7MPH in road gear.

There is a planetary gear set that fits between the left final drive and the transaxle. People running rototillers use them. It is shiftable. I saw one go for around $600 at an auction a year and several months ago.

An outside vendor used to make a trencher for the Cub. That implement would need a very deep reduction. They may have used something like a IH Hydro-Creeper that was available with the Super A and decendents. A hydraulic motor was attached to a gear box that slid over the PTO shaft. The main clutch was disengaged and the PTO ran the transmission. There was one of those at the same auction and I think the price was near $500.

I suppose some kind of gear set could go in the torque tube. But one has to wonder if the transmission could take the torque. I managed to break a Cub second gear when I was about 10 years old.

As for going faster, Palmer Marine used to fit the C-60 into sailboats. I think they would run them at around 2400 vs 1800. Playing with the governor will get you there. Might need an A carb, too. I dunno.

Best source for Cub options is over on the Cub board. Somebody will probably post the link.

You should be warned that over reving a Cub may lead to a broken fan mount. The front engine cover is not very strong. Unfortunately, the whole tractor is made up out of a pile of weak parts. You'd be better off giving it to your wife and getting something a little bigger for yourself.
