    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Quick update. Engine is mounted. Modified the fuel tank to fit in the way smaller space 4.5 gallons now. Driveshaft set up. Radiator in etc. drive it around for a few runs and found a worn tie rod end the hard way. (Hamilton bob to the rescue). Mocking up gauges and wiring now. All is going well...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Do you have any other pictures of that cab? It s a down the road project but something I want to fab up. Seems like a lot of the cabs are a little different. The one on yours looks the biggest I ve seen

    Milwaukee cordless Ratchet Impact wrench

    Yeah I think it?s a mechanics nature to start low. That?s why we reach for the 3/8 impact first. Followed by a loud dammit. Then the 1/2 followed by another dammit etc until the torches come out lol

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Tonight?s update. Engine is set temporarily drive shaft hooked up. Ran temporary fuel and electric for a start to see if this is even feasible. Took it around the field a couple times. Speeds are very similar to a stock cub. Steering feels ok so far a little heavier than stock with the added...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Stay tuned. I ll be needing input from everyone. Once this is all done I plan on doing a build page and how to with all the issues I ran into. FYI for the cub 154 guys these little Isuzu engines are really easy to find and sometimes cheap to free. Every almand tow behind job site heater had one...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Well the initial mock up has room for a PTO pulley it s just a matter of finding the right one and milling it out to receive the drive shaft. My original plan was to use as much of the original parts as I could and didn t realize till I pulled the engine that the engine pulley and harmonic...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    I wish I could find deals like that!!! When I can?t I build my own lol. I really want to do a cab at some point once I get the majority of this tractor restored and beefed up. Was there actually room inside or is it like sitting inside a convection oven in the summer? And yes the clutch is a...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    That?s how it always goes though. Upgrade or modify something and the next weakest part will show itself. Not sure where this project will take me. Possibly a 4 cylinder diesel cub 154 with a 5 speed and rear end from an f250? Lol. That?s the fun of it though

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Drive line adaptor made from the flex plate off the diesel motor (losing my pto) Other pics of the drop in if they load should show too

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    May not be a classic but still a decent little work horse for pulling carts. I actually built a 3 point to fit a 5 foot box blade. Headed my driveway nicely. I will say though the engine in it was a little weak for that. Keeping in mind it s a tired old 73. Hence the diesel swap lol.

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Your right on the elbow return on top of the trans. Napa sells a case breather that would fit right in there for like 8 bucks. I ll add in a pipe adapter and it should work. Independent brakes would be nice. Once this engine swap is done I ll rip it back apart in the spring for paint.

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Ok so calling it a night. What I got accomplished -engine pulled - old wiring removed - frame notched -motor mounts made -new motor mocked up in frame -driveline mounted I added some pictures (ignore the mess). Still have a real long way to go but got a good start on it. Let me know what you...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    Good idea there. Plus side to all this is the engine I?m swinging in has it?s own radiator and fan. Adding a hydraulic cooler shouldn?t be an issue. I?m new to the forums is there somewhere else I should be posting this type of thing? Haven?t found any cub 154 threads but didn?t really search...

    Milwaukee cordless Ratchet Impact wrench

    In my job I travel the east coast working on oilfield equipment and engines. Everything from road tractors to 3512 cats and 50 liter Cummins. I can say out of most of the brands I?ve tried Milwaukee has been the best all around. I guess keep in mind though I beat on mine like red headed step...

    Cub 154 engine swap project

    The reason I?m asking is I?m weighing the options for hydraulics. The old system works well but the pump is about worn out on this one. So I was going to change the pump as I went along. Which like any project will be something aftermarket to mesh with the gearing on the engine. Was thinking...
